A rockstar legend with an inferiority complex. An officer's promise made but never fulfilled. A girl. A letter. A song. A knife. Weezer's gritty sophomore album, Pinkerton, and Puccini's soaring opera, Madame Butterfly, converge in the latest installment of The Living Record Collection.
I'm A Lot Like You, created and performed by Salty Brine, is directed by Shaun Peknic with arrangements by Mike Brun and Alex Thrailkill and costume design by Heather McDevitt Barton. The show features performances by musicians Michael Hunter, Matthew Marsh, Hiroyuki Matsuura, Alex Thrailkill and Debbie Christine Tjong.
The show was originally performed in a developmental setting in November 2015 at The Red Room.
This dazzling expedition into the heart of popular music, created and performed by cabaret artist Salty Brine, takes incredible albums and twists them in style and form until they are at once familiar and foreign, nostalgic and new. Imagining track lists as blueprints for evenings of musical mayhem, Salty brings you The Living Record Collection.
Past shows (all Time Out New York Critics' Picks) include Abbey Straße, I've Been to Sea Before, Second Hand News, Dark Side of the Rainbow, I Carried a Watermelon, He's So Unusual, Givin' Up Your Heart, I'm A Lot Like You, These Are the Contents of My Head, Thank U 4 a Funky Time, This One Night at the Opera, How Strange It Is, Good News, or Harry the Dog, Dean. Maybe Frank. Maybe Sammy and Welcome to the Jungle.
