Long‑time Nashville resident and former teen‑pop sensation Tiffany Darwish is returning to the stage with her Off‑Broadway debut in “Spandex the Musical.” The 54‑year‑old, best known for her 1987 hit “I Think We’re Alone Now,” will play Linda Gustafson, a housewife competing in a fictional 1988 aerobics championship.
From mall tours to Broadway lights
Tiffany first rose to fame in the late 1980s, topping the Billboard Hot 100 with her cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now.” After a series of successful albums and tours, she stepped back from the mainstream music scene in the early 1990s to raise her son, Elijah, and later relocated from California to Nashville.
In recent years she has built a culinary brand called “Let’s Food With Tiffany,” released two cookbooks, and continued to perform independently. Her new theatrical role marks a full‑circle moment, she told People magazine, saying the script felt like the perfect fit for her.
Supporting a charitable cause
“Spandex the Musical” runs for a limited 10‑day engagement through September 27. After each performance, Tiffany will join the cast in singing “I Think We’re Alone Now” during curtain call. A portion of the show’s proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network, a nonprofit that raises funds for children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada.
“Giving back has always been close to my heart, so being able to combine my love of performing with a cause that means so much to me makes this experience even more special,” Tiffany said.
Local impact
The production brings a taste of New York theater to Nashville audiences and highlights the city’s growing reputation as a hub for arts and entertainment. Fans can enjoy a blend of 80s nostalgia, humor, and uplifting music while supporting a charitable mission.
Tickets are available through the show’s official website and at participating Nashville box offices.
