Punk Goes Broadway! Vol. 2 is a showstopping marriage between two distinct styles of music that has never been performed like this! Creatively arranged by the mind of Dre Shapiro, Punk Goes Broadway! Vol 2 brings a classical and contemporary showtune spirit to the songs that defined our teens. Songs such as “Misery Business” by Paramore, “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance, “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs” by Fall Out Boy, and some new iconic tunes will be transformed and performed in one radical evening. These solos, duets, and group numbers will be an event for any punk or Broadway enthusiast. Come celebrate the music as well as these up-and-coming artists as they perform another installment of Punk Goes Broadway!
