Paul Leschen and Fred Sauter's new musical about a futuristic plague of mutant hair metal bedbugs is a hilarious romp with some kickass tunes. Currently part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF).
Following two nearly sold-out shows during the biggest New York City blizzard on record (February 12 and 13), THE DREAM ENGINE returns to Joe's Pub on Friday, March 24 at 7:00 PM and Saturday, March 25 at 9:30 PM.
Joe's Pub has issued an alert that two of their concerts have been cancelled for the day, Brady Rymer (Good Homes): Every Day Is a Birthday CD release, and Kismet Lyles / Amanda Dumas. The 9:30 PM The Dream Engine, Songs by Jim Steinman concert is still on for tonight, and Joe's Pub will be opening their doors early at 7:30 PM.
The songs of pop songwriter Jim Steinman, who also wrote Dance of the Vampires, will be heard in The Dream Engine at Joe's Pub, for four performances from February 12th through March 25th
I recently sat down in the recording studio with Broadway star Rob Evan, and with record producer Steven Rinkoff for the two to fill me in on one of their most ambitious projects yet. Over the Top: Songs by Jim Steinman is best described as 'an inverted jukebox musical,' and it's coming next to the Mohegan Sun June 9-12.
