After 17 years, Bowery Electric, the East Village venue and club co-owned by Jesse Malin, is closing its doors on January 30. It won\u2019t stay closed for long, though: it\u2019s reopening as the Bowery Palace, a 100-seat theater and venue. Malin\u2019s autobiographical stage show, Silver Manhattan<\/a>, will play there five nights a week from February 18 through March 29. Tickets<\/a> are on sale now.<\/p>\n

Silver Manhattan was written by Malin and Lauren Ludwig, is produced by ArKtype \/ Tommy Kriegsmann and David Bason, and directed by Ellie Heyman, with music direction by Justin Craig and Derek Cruz. It runs 90 minutes, and they\u2019re teasing \u201cvery special guests\u201d who will make apperances throughout the run. \u201cSilver Manhattan is the most personal thing I\u2019ve ever done on stage,\u201d Malin says. \u201cI want to run it in a smaller theater, and look into the eyes of everyone in the room. I have so much history on the Bowery\u2014I played CBGB\u2019s as a kid, and grew up in the neighborhood. My grandfather sold liquor to the bars up and down the Bowery. It\u2019s nice to go back to the scene of the crime. There are a lot of beautiful ghosts and spirits on this sacred ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malin suffered a spinal-cord stroke<\/a> in 2023, and while he\u2019s since returned to the stage<\/a>, he hasn\u2019t done any major touring. \u201cIn 2023, before my accident, I was on this huge tour,\u201d he says. \u201cSince I was 12, that\u2019s how I made my living\u2014traveling from city to city on this pirate ship, with my band, this gang. Out of necessity, I created Silver Manhattan, a way I could bring the world to me. Come into my neighborhood, to my New York. Music has always been the best medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silver Manhattan is inspired by Malin\u2019s upcoming memoir, Almost Grown: A New York Memoir, which is out on April 7 via Akashic. Watch a trailer for the stage show below.<\/p>\n
