Born and raised in Chicago, Irene Michaels has captivated audiences for decades with her boundless energy, elegance, and diverse talents. She stands as an inspiring example of overcoming ageism in show business, flourishing through grace, passion, determination, and innate skill.

Her artistic journey began early as a singer, dancer, and model. At just 21, Irene won the Miss Photo Flash title, launching a high-profile modeling career that led her to establish her own successful agency, Showtime. Her adaptability opened doors in Hollywood, where she landed roles on General Hospital and appeared in classic films including Home Alone 2 and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. An avid equestrian since childhood, she has also competed in horseback shows—a testament to her spirited and disciplined nature.

Outside the spotlight, Irene built the luxury lifestyle I On…Brand,whose flagship, award-nominated platform,I On The Scene Global, celebrates entertainment, beauty, and the luxury lifestyle, beauty, and the luxury lifestyle. She launched the award-winning skincare line I On Youth Collection by Irene Michaels and authored the motivational book I On Beauty Living Beautifully & Luxuriously After 50, inspiring women—especially those over a certain age—to embrace vibrant living and personal reinvention.

Musichas been Irene’s lifelong passion. After some breaks along the way to pursue other artistic and entrepreneurial endeavors, she returned to it full-time in her seventies—bringing with her a wealth of life experience, creative vision, and unstoppable energy. Embracing the stage as a House Music Diva, her single “I Like Rain” garnered critical acclaim, winning a Josie Music Award for Best Pop Song of the Year. Recording with TRAX Records and Tribeca Records, she achieved Grammy considerations and continued industry recognition. In 2024, Irene was honored with an invitation to perform at the 10th Anniversary of the Josie Music Awards—a prestigious celebration of independent artistry—on the legendary CMA Theatre stage at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

Her sold-out solo shows in Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville and New York captivate audiences with a blend of music, personal stories, and life inspiration. A familiar face in celebrity and high-society circles, Irene continues to live a life as dazzling as it is meaningful.

Now at 80 years young, Irene Michaels lives by her motto—“Forever Young”—and is currently working on her much-anticipated autobiography with a major publishing house, as well as an upcoming EP of her greatest hits, promising to add yet another exciting chapter to her extraordinary journey.

ROCK & ROLL MAN is the original musical about a musical original. Alan Freed was a Cleveland DJ who heard the future—and knew he had to let it sing. He named the genre “Rock & Roll,” bringing music to the masses and integrating artists and audiences on the airwaves and in concerts for the first time in history. Along the way, he became an icon to the nation’s youth—and a target for the nation’s establishment.

In addition to explosive original songs written just for the stage, ROCK & ROLL MAN features classics created by legends such as Little Richard, Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Drifters, The Coasters, and The Platters, including genre-defying hits like “Tutti Frutti,” “Maybellene,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Yakety Yak,” and “Why Do Fools Fall in Love.”

Freed’s passion for music inspired the generation that changed society forever.

ROCK & ROLL MAN features a book by Gary Kupper (Freckleface Strawberry The Musical – Outer Critics Circle nomination), Larry Marshak (editor of Night Beat Magazine and Rock Magazine), and Rose Caiola (Freckleface Strawberry The Musical – Outer Critics Circle nomination), original music and lyrics by Gary Kupper, vintage Rock & Roll elements developed by Marshak Classic Music LLC and Gary Kupper Music, direction by Tony Award® nominee Randal Myler (It Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues), and choreography by Stephanie Klemons (Associate Choreographer and Global Dance Supervisor of Hamilton).

If you have spent any time on social media in the past several years, you will have seen harassment and hate in all its ugliness. Social media platforms, initially touted as mechanisms to bring the world together, have grown into petri dishes breeding hostility, harassment, and hateful discourse. Hate and antisocial behaviors are also increasingly prevalent offline.

http://www.pmi.com/letstalk or https://mariansalzman.com/
One corporation which has long experienced hostility is Philip Morris International (PMI). The company says that comes with being a prominent player in an industry viewed unfavorably by much of society because of its core product: cigarettes.

Today, even as the company is working to deliver a smoke-free future thanks to science-based, better alternatives for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke —moving ever closer to the time when it will completely end sales of cigarettes in the international markets where they operate—vestiges of that hate remain, impeding an open and fact-based dialogue on the potential these innovative products represent for smokers and public health.

The consequences of hate and polarization transcend industry sectors and impede progress across society. That’s why the company wants to elevate the conversation around some solutions to the problem of what they are calling “hate in the air.” PMI has conducted a survey and developed a report from the survey responses, to try to find some answers to this growing problem in society and understand what factors have led to the rise in hate and misinformation and the loss of civil discourse and respect for objective truth.

PMI surveyed 5,000 adults in five markets: Brazil, France, South Africa, South Korea, and the United States. 70% reported that the level of hate and hate speech in their country has increased in the past two years and 52% worry that hate, and hostility are hampering progress in society.

Marian Salzman, senior vice president, global communications at Philip Morris International (PMI), discusses the survey results and the company’s report and recommendations on the rise of hate.

Salzman says while hate globally is on the rise, this trend should not surprise us. She says our modern culture of news consumption too often cages us within echo chambers self-constructed to affirm our beliefs and push out conflicting data and perspectives.

She’ll also offer ways to begin engaging in constructive dialogue. Salzman is considered one of the world’s top trendspotters and throughout her career has been at the leading edge of the rapid revolution in technology and social change.

Company officials say their report is intended to contribute to the conversation around hate and division and encourage more individuals and organizations to work toward resolving these critical challenges. Some recommendations include:

Engage, engage, engage: Relentlessly seek out opportunities for interaction, dialogue, and debate, even with—perhaps especially with—those who consider you the enemy.

End exclusionary policies and practices: Among survey respondents, 77% agree that society’s biggest challenges will never be solved if we demonize and exclude those with whom we disagree.

Champion the primacy of science and fact: Using data and proof points as anchors, companies must use their full voice to show up in conversations and counter the noise created by those seeking to confuse or mislead.

WE’VE ALL SEEN THE GROWING ATTITUDES OF ANGER IN SOCIAL MEDIA AND OFFLINE – WHAT DID YOUR SURVEY SHOW?

2. AFTER REVIEWING THE SURVEY RESULTS WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS DRIVING THIS RISE IN HATE?

3. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORPORATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS TO MOVE BEYOND HATE?

4. WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT TO CONDUCT THIS SURVEY?

5. WHAT OTHER KEY TAKEAWAYS DO YOU WANT THE AUDIENCE TO BE AWARE OF?
