Frances Ruffelle: LIVE(s) IN NEW YORK
May 20 at Green Room 42- BUY TICKETS!

How you know her: Les Miserables OBC

Tony Award winner Frances Ruffelle is back in town with her stunning solo performance: "Frances Ruffelle Live(S) in New York!" an intimate evening of song that whispers seductive secrets, lays bare the naked truth and explodes with the one of a kind bottle rocket charisma that's kept "Frankie's" ardent fans coming back for more since she created the iconic role of "Eponine" in "Les Miserables" and turned "On My Own" into one of Broadway's most beloved standards. "Frances Ruffelle Live(S) in New York!" is a wildly entertaining ride straight through the core of the most tender heart, fiery passion and loose comic confidence of a seasoned performer at the height of her game.

Jaime Cepero: Songs About Anxiety And The Boys That Played Me
May 20 at Green Room 42- BUY TICKETS!

How you know him: Smash!

Afro Latinx actor, writer, and activist Jaime Cepero swiftly became a fan favorite for his portrayal of love-to-hate character Ellis Boyd on the NBC musical series SMASH from executive producer Steven Spielberg. His musical FRANCOIS AND THE REBELS (a punk rock re-telling of the 1791 Haitian Slave Revolution) was recently produced through MTF Musicals at Joe's Pub to glowing reviews. Other film and television credits include MESS (Freddy) HereTV/Amazon, Indie features I Am Michael (Kidd) starring James Franco, Dating My Mother(Will), Daddy (Tee), and Disney's The Game Plan. He is an active voice for political activism - and recently received critical acclaim for his performance as CLAUDE in the 50th Anniversary revival rock musical "HAIR" at the Tony award winning Dallas Theater Center in TX. Join Jaime and a slew of broadway and recording stars as they bring to life his newest batch of music - and tell some awkward stories along the way.
