An original musical comedy that celebrates the art—and challenges—of stanning. Growing up in New York City, Alexis hides his true self, but when his family uproots him to rural Germany, he feels completely out of place. His only escape? The legendary women of music—Céline, Whitney, Mariah, Beyoncé, Aretha, and more—who become his guiding lights, his MOTHERS. Through them, he learns everything about life, love, and performance, turning his obsession into expertise.

With ten original songs, performed live on keyboard, Alexis takes the audience on a joyful, camp-filled journey through queer identity, pop culture worship, and the unexpected realities of fandom. But as he embraces his inner diva, he also grapples with the realization that stanning isn’t always healthy—wait, loving women makes you gay?! Who knew?! As he navigates culture shock, self-acceptance, and the highs and lows of fandom, Alexis asks: does he have what it takes to become a little gay diva himself? A heartfelt and hilarious ride, A Stan is Born! is for anyone who’s ever loved a pop queen a little too much.
