Some fan-favorite Broadway actors are participating in an exciting concert series coming to New York City in October!
Broadway Does Punk will reimagine iconic showtunes into punk and rock anthems, turning TikTok star Matt Copley‘s viral video franchise into a live show. Video streams for the series online have passed 20 million and have caught the attention of stars like Darren Criss and Rachel Brosnahan.
Now, Broadway Does Punk will be playing Abrons Arts Center’s Playhouse Theater in New York City on October 2 and 3.
