Welcome back! Eva Noblezada is so excited to be returning to the Green Room 42 stage. It's a very simple show. She sings songs. Everyone laughs.

Daphne Always makes her Green Room 42 debut in Sumtimez, Always--Still?! Join her for one night only as she uses music (and the adoring gaze of her audience) to reflect upon questions that she simply can't stop asking herself: in what ways, after name changes, HRT, and career shifts, is she somehow still kind of a drag queen? How do we decide what to take with us and what to leave behind in pursuit of actualization of self? Do you think she's very pretty? To take a whack at these Gordian knots, the evening will feature original music as well as covers of artists ranging from Bonnie Tyler to ANOHNI, under the musical direction of Daphne's pianist and Long Island pal, James Sheppard. Come out to feel the unique electricity, warmth, and intrigue of occupying a seat at a Daphne Always show! Cast: Starring Daphne Always, Music Direction and Piano by James Sheppard.
