On July 2, Joe's Pub will shutter for three months for an exciting renovation. Join Joe's Pub regular and star of an upcoming reality TV show Trapper Felides for a blowout celebration before the fabled walls come down, featuring pop/musical theatre hybrids from some of Broadway's brightest talents from The Book of Mormon and beyond, and some fresh-faced discoveries. Trapper's Bringing Down The House will feature songs ranging from disco-era Barbra and 80's Whitney to contemporary hits by Justin Timberlake and Pink.

Elisabeth Vincentelli (New York Post) raves, "Felides bridges the worlds of Broadway, pop music and downtown performance in a novel way. This is the kind of stuff cabaret needs to do if it doesn't want to die a sad death in overprice uptown restaurants."

Trapper's Bringing Down the House takes the stage at 11:30pm at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St., New York, NY). General admission tickets, priced at $20, are still available online and at the door.

Location: Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette St., NYC, NY, 212-967-7555, www.joespub.com.
