Join Princess Wow as she uses hat happenings, colorful dolls, original smile music, and comedic storytelling to explore her journey from depression to starting a revolution about joy inspired by her dad’s last smile. Mindy is a hat designer and creator of Hat Happenings which the New York Times profiled.

Mindy Fradkin has an artistic background as colorful as her wardrobe. She took her stunning and innovative hat designs and spun them off into performing “Hat Happenings,” an interactive show where she engaged audience members, using hats as props, and brought along her natural gift for comedy. Mindy is also a singer/songwriter with her “was-band,” Roland Mousaa, producing a CD of smile songs in support of her Smile Revolution, a movement she was inspired to begin back in 2005 when her dad, who rarely smiled at her, grinned at her not long before he passed on. The Smile Revolution is devoted to raising conscious awareness to the healing power of a genuine smile. Mindy is currently a talk show host at The Smile Revolution with Princess Wow® on Princess Wow Network on Facebook and YouTube, where she produces and shares uplifting ideas and interviews with artists and authors and others who have inspiring stories to tell.

Her own story started when she began performing at age eight. Mindy got the gig by booking herself at her own Beatles-themed birthday party. Mindy wrote and performed an award-winning one-woman show, “Ageless Wonders: A Grown-Up Kids Guide to Realizing we are New” with Best National Solo Artist, Jessica Lynn Johnson as her director. The show’s tour included Los Angeles at Hollywood Fringe Festival, SoloFest at Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks, California, and New York City at United Solo Festival on Theatre Row and The Triad Theatre, NYC.

Her new solo show, “Princess Wow® in Woodstock: How a Hat Designer Started a Revolution” previewed in London, on April 23, 2023 at Etcetera Theatre, Camden. The show was developed and Directed by Best National Solo Artist, Jessica Lynn Johnson.
