Highline Ballroom Hosts Duncan Sheik, 6/8
Duncan Sheik initially found success as a singer, most notably for his 1996 debut single, "Barely Breathing," which spent 55 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100. He has since expanded his work to include compositions for motion pictures and the Broadway stage. Sheik won two Tony Awards, as composer and arranger, for the Broadway production of Spring Awakening. Written with lyricist Steven Sater, Spring Awakening also received the Tony Award for Best Musical. Sheik is currently developing two new musical theater projects. Nero (Another Golden Rome) had a workshop production this summer at Vassar College, featuring Wicked star Idina Menzel and Spring Awakening ingénue Lea Michelle. The Nightingale is slated for a 2010 opening at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater. His albums include "Duncan Sheik" (1996), "Humming" (1998), "Phantom Moon" (2001), "Daylight" (2002), "White Limousine" (2006), "Brighter/Later: A Duncan Sheik Anthology" (2006) and "Greatest Hits: A Duncan Sheik Collection" (2007).
Sheik will play the Highline Ballroom on June 8th, 2011. Doors open at 6 PM and the show begins at 8 PM; for tickets, visit http://www.highlineballroom.com/bio.php?id=1912.
