Introducing: Ziggy Starfish
Picture this: the world is predicted to end in 5 years. Glued to their devices, humans have drifted into a hypnotic fugue state, handing the planet over to the robot overlords who are consuming our natural world at a catastrophic rate.
Enter Ziggy, a beautiful androgynous starfish from Brooklyn who dreams of being visited by extraterrestrials-the Spidercrabs from Mars- who promise to save the earth. Inspired by the dream, Ziggy assembles the Tails of Glory, a sexy group of magical menopausal sirens, and sets off on a rock and roll tour spreading love, hope, and news of the aliens’ arrival.
When the tour reaches the Coney Island boardwalk, Ziggy finally meets the Spidercrabs—only to discover there are no extraterrestrials. The magic was within us all along. Rebranding as the Tails of Glory: Ziggy Starfish, the group stages one final performance at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, blasting rock, magic, and joy so powerfully that they break humanity’s tech spell. Phones fly into the ocean, the robots lose their grip, and the world is saved. The end.

For 20 years, Coney Island has been the home away from home for all the Tails of Glory mermaids from around the country. We are eternally grateful to the good folks at Coney Island USA who have been the driving force behind the Mermaid Parade for the last few decades (as well as the Museum, Sideshow and other events for which Coney Island is famous).
