Shears and Scissor Sisters collaborator John "JJ" Garden provided the lyrics and score for a world-premiere musical adaptation of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, a much-loved series of novels (and later a television miniseries) about life in San Francisco in the 1970s. The musical was first developed at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Music Theater Conference in 2009, where Shears and Garden collaborated with a creative team that included playwright Jeff Whitty and director Jason Moore, of the Tony-Award-winning musical Avenue Q.

Culture constantly shifts; shows come and go. Homes, too. All dogs die, eventually. Shears knows better than most how to keep a party going, but at some point, the night is over. Maybe, I suggest, Last Man Dancing is his way of preserving a Jake Shears party for posterity; the temporary made permanent. He nods in agreement. “I wish things didn’t feel so transient sometimes,” he says. “It’s why I love making records, having something tangible to show for what I do. Musicals and gigs, they’re ephemeral. An album exists for ever.” In 2006, they acted as an opening act for Depeche Mode's Touring the Angel Tour. Their first gig in the UK for promotion of the second album took place at the KOKO Club, Camden, London, on Aug. 31, 2006, and was filmed for MTV. 2006 performances at the Bowery Ballroom and Siren Music Festival in New York and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival have allowed the band to showcase an array of songs from the new album.

[22] Additionally, they were invited to BBC's Maida Vale studios to perform different songs on every show broadcast on BBC Radio 1. [23] The event, dubbed "Scissor Sisters Day", culminated in them actually standing in for presenter Pete Tong and hosting his three-hour slot themselves. The show took an unexpected turn when a woman in labour telephoned the show to share her experience with the band and they played "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa for her. Several performances, interviews, and a humorous jingle that was written in an hour, were filmed and edited into a special seven-day, looped broadcast on BBCi.Kinky Boots Welcomes Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears to the Company".

Freed from previous compositional constraints, the true spirit of these unfettered souls manifests itself in Scissorgames, and rising star vocalist Charlie certainly stamps that new identity well and truly. On October 23, 2012, while performing at the Camden Roundhouse, Scissor Sisters announced an indefinite hiatus. [37] A year later, Ana Matronic insisted that the band, while still on break, had not permanently split. [38]
