***Debbie Gibson reflects on the lessons she learned in her years as a young pop pioneer and on her hard-earned journey to embrace her authentic self, allowing her to lead the healthy, engaged—and electric!—life she does today.***
**Debbie Gibson** is an award-winning singer-songwriter and Broadway actress with over sixteen million album sales worldwide and eleven US Top 40 singles. Now releasing new music through her own Stargirl Records label, she has also starred in several independent and TV movies, some of which she’s created and executive produced. A philanthropist involved in numerous charitable endeavors, Debbie wrote this memoir while touring to celebrate the thirty-fifth anniversary of her multi-platinum Electric Youth album and Lost in Your Eyes single simultaneously hitting #1 on the Billboard charts. Visit her website.
**Will Wheaton** is a producer, narrator, and actor who has appeared in dozens of films and TV series, with recurring roles on TNT’s Leverage, SyFy’s Eureka, and the hit webseries The Guild. He is the creator, producer, and host of the webseries Tabletop, credited with reigniting national interest in tabletop gaming. He played a fictionalized version of himself on CBS’s The Big Bang Theory. He hosted nearly 200 episodes of The Ready Room, the official online hub for all things Star Trek universe. An accomplished voice actor, Wil has lent his talents to animated series including Family Guy, Teen Titans, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. His audiobook narration of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list. He has also lent his voice to titles by John Scalzi, Randall Monroe, Andy Weir, and Joe Hill. In March of 2025, he launched a speculative fiction podcast called It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton. He is the author of Just A Geek, Dancing Barefoot, The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Hunter, and Dead Trees Give No Shelter.
Debbie Gibson was just sixteen when she released her multi-platinum debut album Out of the Blue and recorded “Foolish Beat” in 1988, making her the youngest person to ever write, produce, and perform a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper.
A child actress who became the original pop princess, Debbie had full creative control over her music and, when that no longer aligned with a transitioning arts scene, she went on to star in Broadway’s Les Misérables, Beauty and the Beast, and Cabaret, as well as in the London production of Grease.
Yet, for all the accolades and achievements, her success came at a high price. Anxiety, depression, financial struggles, illness—Debbie writes candidly about these and other challenges, and how she ultimately redesigned her life to overcome them. This is the story of her not only surviving, but thriving: returning to her musical roots, releasing new albums, going back out on tour, and living the best version of her authentic self to remain…Eternally Electric!
