Millennial Cringe: A New Cabaret Inspired By The Generation Made For This Moment at Green Room 42

From avocado toast to skinny jeans, Millennials (1981-1996) have been endlessly side-eyed by Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Z alike. But what if the lessons these ‘80s and ‘90s babies have learned (by weathering one unprecedented event after the next) are exactly what this moment calls for? What can we all learn from the most roasted — and most resilient — generation?

Join author, artist, and founder of WANT: Women Against Negative Talk KATIE HORWITCH at The Green Room 42 on Thursday, October 2nd at 7pm for MILLENNIAL CRINGE: a brand new cabaret inspired by the generation made for this moment. Through a mix of stories, songs, and cultural callbacks, MILLENNIAL CRINGE dives jelly-sandals-first into the emotional depth, humor, and wisdom of the Millennial experience. With music direction by Paul Peglar (Glee, tick...tick...BOOM!, Pirates Of The Carribean), MILLENNIAL CRINGE is a joyful, cathartic, and unexpectedly moving show that invites you to move forward fearlessly by embracing exactly who you are and trusting you can take on whatever comes next.

Because “Millennial” isn’t an age — it’s a mindset.
