Recent Off-Broadway hit Beau the Musical will return for one-night-only as a pop-up concert at Green Room 42 on May 11. The work recently received 10 Drama Desk nominations for its June 2025 staging, including Outstanding Musical.
Conceived and written by Douglas Lyons (Chicken and Biscuits), with music by Ethan D. Pakchar (Back to the Future: The Musical) and Lyons, Beau the Musical features eight actor-musicians telling the story of Ace Baker, a young gay man whose life is forever changed when he discovers his deceased grandfather is actually still alive.
The concert reprise will feature live performances of songs from the musical by Matt Rodin, Miyuki Miyagi, Max Sangerman, Ryan Halsaver, Andrea Goss, Derek J. Stoltenberg, Lauren Jeanne Thomas, Tyler Donovan McCall, Rose Van Dyne and Luke Darnel.
In its initial Off-Broadway staging last summer, Beau the Musical starred Matt Rodin (Company, All the World’s a Stage) as Ace, with Chris Blisset (Bloodsong of Love) as Beau, Amelia Cormack (Hadestown) as Raven, Andrea Goss (Cabaret) as Nurse/Karina/Le-Ann, Cory Jeacoma (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) as Ferris, Miyuki Miyagi (The Mystery of Edwin Drood) as Daphney, Derek J. Stoltenberg (The Prom) as Dennis, and Matt Wolpe (Finding Neverland) as Larry.
Beau then enjoyed an encore run at St. Luke’s Theatre last fall, with a cast also led by Rodin.
Following a presentation at the 2019 Adirondack Theatre Festival, Sony Masterworks Broadway released the show’s world premiere recording.
Tickets for both in-person attendance and streaming online will be available for the Green Room 42 concert, with prices starting at $19. Visit here to purchase.
