The Green Room 42 New Artists Series Presents Celina James In BOTH SIDES NOW, June 25
James will bring her thoughtful artistry and signature style to a collection of music both timely and absolutely timeless.
The Green Room 42 and producer Jackson Paul Walker present Celina James in her New York City debut, “Both Sides Now.” Covering everything from Sondheim to Bareilles, Jason Robert Brown to Joni Mitchell, James will bring her thoughtful artistry and signature style to a collection of music both timely and absolutely timeless.
This magical evening will feature Andrew Maguire (Royal Caribbean's Grease), with new, original compositions from Adam LaPorte (Courtship, The Baseball Play), and music direction by Rebekah Bruce (The Lehman Trilogy, Mean Girls).
“When I started creating this show, my mind was racing through all of the popular music and musical theatre songs I loved and wanted to include,” said James. “Ultimately, paying homage to both sides of these worlds in my life felt like the most comprehensive view of my passions as an artist and all of the inspirations that inspire me.”
“Celina is a deeply multifaceted artist and I'm so excited that New York audiences will finally have the chance to experience and enjoy the many sides of her work,” said Walker (Let's Hear It For The Choice: Live) of the upcoming June performance.
“Being able to do a show where I am being authentically myself, especially during Pride Month, feels very serendipitous. I find so much joy in my queerness and in living radically as myself and I'm incredibly proud of that,” added James.
“Both Sides Now” marks James' highly anticipated New York City debut. Tickets begin at $31.50 and are available for purchase here.
