Straz Center Welcomes Miranda Sings
Miranda Sings (a.k.a. Colleen Ballinger) has become an international phenomenon whose YouTube channel has amassed more than 8 million devoted subscribers and more than a billion views. The character Miranda was created in 2008 to parody the young, self-absorbed singers with far more confidence (and vibrato) than talent—which Colleen saw uploading videos to YouTube. Miranda is known for her overdrawn red lips, questionable advice about singing and life, a deluded self-confidence and over-the-top rants about her family and personal problems. Miranda Sings has appeared on Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and stars in the Netflix original series Haters Back Off! 8:30p.m.
