THE GREEN ROOM 42 - Broadway's newest intimate concert venue - presented the debut of Reeve Carney on Thursday, May 3. Paige Davis and Chicago star Bianca Marroquin joined Carney at his debut and they posed for a photo together. Check it out below!
Reeve Carney originated the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the record-breaking Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. A lifelong musician, Reeve jumped at the opportunity to perform a score by U2's Bono and The Edge-not to mention re-team with director Julie Taymor, who he'd worked with in her film, The Tempest. In 2013, however, Reeve finally hung up his Spidey suit and headed to Dublin for Showtime's buzzed-about new John Logan/Sam Mendes series, "Penny Dreadful," in which he plays reckless hedonist Dorian Gray.
Reeve's latest album, Youth is Wasted, was recorded primarily in his New York apartment. During his demanding Spider-Man schedule, it was impossible to get back and forth to the studio, so Reeve decided to build his own studio-right in his living room. His bizarre Broadway hours also made teaming up with other musicians all but impossible, so Reeve took matters into his own hands, literally, playing every single instrument himself. Thus, the album has a homespun quality, a la Paul McCartney's Ram-which just so happens to be Reeve's all-time favorite album.
In an upcoming Jeff Buckley biopic, Reeve will play the late singer, marrying his love of music and acting.
