"The greater the success, the higher the expectations."
It has been estimated that his brand has touched one out of every six people on Earth, but what do you know about him?
From Ryan Raftery, creator and star of the smash hit Anna Wintour, Andy Cohen and Martha Stewart musicals comes a story about one of the most famous names in the world.
Inspired by the modern classic film, Black Swan, "The Obsession of Calvin Klein" explores the (somewhat fictionalized) madness that oftentimes goes hand-in-hand with the gift of creativity. Set to reworked versions of popular hits from the past four decades and interwoven with Tchaikovsky's haunting Swan Lake.
Obsessed with a crushing paranoia that childhood friend and fellow mega-designer Ralph Lauren is intent on sabotage, Calvin Klein and henchwoman Donna Karan scheme to ensure the continued reign over his black and white empire.
