The 54-year-old pop icon Tiffany has made her Off-Broadway debut in "Spandex the Musical," fulfilling a childhood dream of acting and dancing that was sidelined when she became a teen sensation in 1987. The performance marks a full-circle moment for the artist, who has largely stepped away from mainstream entertainment to pursue a quieter life in Nashville after decades in the spotlight.

Tiffany rose to fame following the massive success of her cover of "I Think We're Alone Now," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1987, less than two months after release. At 16, she became the youngest female artist to top the Billboard 200 with a debut album, though her chart dominance proved difficult to sustain into the 1990s. After prioritising motherhood and leaving Hollywood in the early 2000s, she has continued working as an independent artist, touring regularly and recently developing a culinary brand called "Let's Food With Tiffany," which includes recipes, cooking experiences and a second cookbook released this year.
