Michael Longoria To Debut SUMMER LOVIN Concert at The Green Room 42

Michael Longoria (Jersey Boys, The View Upstairs, Hairspray) will return to the Greenroom 42 stage, one of New York City's top cabaret venues, on Friday, July 30th at 7pm. Longoria will serenade his audience in an evening of contemporary summer lovin' with fresh takes on the radio hits of Cyndi Lauper, Troye Sivan, The Weekend, Erasure, Billie Eilish and more. Longoria's vocals will soar in a program of paramour love-struck torch songs which will be for his first maskless audience since 2019.

Longoria was among the stars to reopen The Green Room 42, after more than a year without live indoor entertainment, with a tribute to Broadway with the debut of "Broadway Heartbeat". With that concert adhering to COVID-19 guidelines (an audience capacity limited to 33%, social distancing and a mask mandate), Longoria is thrilled to once again perform for a full capacity, live audience without masks.

"It's going to feel AMAZING to sing for an unmasked crowd of New Yorkers that I'll be able to see singing along with me again. I'm taking on my favorite radio hits that have taught me how to love through this crazy time in all of our lives. Come out and hear the melodies giving us New Yorkers summer lovin' vibes and a sense of normalcy!"
