Production

The concept for She's Living for This began 20 years ago in Los Angeles. Keith Levy asked director Josh Rosenzweig to collaborate on a project. Keith was just developing Sherry Vine and he wanted to do a play- a theatrical piece as Sherry. So, he chose a one-woman show call ‘’Sorry Wrong Number’’ and when they finished, Josh said to him that he was a modern-day drag version of Carol Burnett and that he should have my own variety show.

Over the course of the next two decades, Josh and Keith worked together on plays, musicals, music videos, television shows and films. Two of the "featurettes" they did together Scream Teen Scream and Charlie! played in film festivals.

All along the way, the idea of the variety show was kept alive. And then last year, Josh said he thought he could get it produced at here! with the help of general manager Eric Feldman. They finally started shooting in the fall of 2011.
