Daniel Reichard Brings NYMF 'Kegger 2007' at Ars Nova 10/5

Broadway's Daniel Reichard returns to Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street) on Friday, October 5 at 12midnight for "Daniel Reichard: Kegger 2007," a special event part keg party/ part concert as part of the NYMF's concert series in partnership with Ars Nova.  Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by visiting www.nymf.org

"'Kegger' is a celebration of music and beer and the stupid things that happen when you put the two together.  Fill up your cup at the keg and join Jersey Boys' Daniel Reichard and his special guests including Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff, Jersey Boys' Dominic Nolfi and Donnie Kehr, Amy Wren, High Fidelity and Urban Cowboy star Jenn Colella, and the outrageous Wendy Ho. The band includes Eric Svejcar, Robert DePietro, Ken Dow, and Steve Gibb with additional vocals by Nick Dothee.  This is not your average concert! This is truly an event not to be missed!! Daniel and his guests will perform classic rock songs all night long (or at least until the Keg runs dry!).  Be prepared to chug beer and dance!  (This party is standing room only)," explain press notes.

Shortly after making his New York City debut in the original cast of Forbidden Broadway: 20th Anniversary Celebration, Daniel Reichard had the honor of playing artist Keith Haring in the Public Theater's Radiant Baby under the direction of George C. Wolfe.  Daniel then created a dozen characters for his role in The Thing About Men at the Promenade Theatre (original cast album).  Daniel received a Drama Desk Award nomination in his Broadway debut for his portrayal of songwriter Bob Gaudio in Jersey Boys, a role he originated in the show's La Jolla Playhouse premiere.  Regional credits include the Weston Playhouse, North Shore Music Theatre, Goodspeed Opera House, O'Neill Center, and St. Louis' MUNY.  As a concert singer, he has had sold-out engagements at Joe's Pub, the Metropolitan Room and Ars Nova.  Other concert appearances include performances at Carnegie Hall (3 times), Symphony Space, BB Kings, Town Hall, Firebird, and the Cutting Room, as well as with the Arkansas Symphony
