New York concert tickets

Only people in the know go to these secret jazz speakeasy shows, but don't worry, we're about to let you in on the secret. These undergound live jazz performances called Daddy Rabbit are the epitome of cool. Musician extraordinaire Misha Piatigorsky launched Daddy Rabbit a few years ago, and the series has gained quite a following. Grab a ticket here for upcoming shows at LOULOU in Chelsea. Here's the lineup: — Friday, April 25: Sofija Knesevic and the Misha Piatigorsky Trio — Monday, May 5: Daddy Rabbit and Broadway Star Khailah Johnson — Thursday, May 8: Sofija Knesevic and the Misha Piatigorsky Trio— Friday, May 16: Daddy Rabbit Presents Emily Braden and Special Guests — Friday, June 6: Daddy Rabbit — Thursday, June 19: Daddy Rabbit — Friday, June 20: Daddy Rabbit 

One of the cleverest people alive, the longtime Daily Show head writer and @TheTweetOfGod demiurge David Javerbaum, ventured into musical theater with 2008's underrated Cry-Baby. Now he dips his toe back into the water, joined by composer Zina Goldrich, as the author of a comedic revue of songs and sketches about life in the technological age. The piece makes its world premiere in concert form at 54 Below, directed by Richard Israel and music-directed by Nicholas Connors, with a cast that includes Mary Faber, Alex Getlin, David Goldsmith, Bryonha Marie and Jason Michael Snow.

More amore! After a successful debut last year, this cabaret collection of Italian-American hits (such as “Mambo Italiano,” “Volare" and “Quando, Quando, Quando") is back for another go at 54 Below. The cast includes holdovers from the first incarnation—Anthony Festa, Analise Scarpaci, Rachel Zatcoff and the show's producer, Raquel Nobile Fernandez—as well as newcomers Donna Vivino, Bella DeNapoli, Cole Grey and Jared Zirilli. The music director, again, is Charles Santoro. 

This isn't a lucid dream—Grace Jones and Janelle Monae are actually performing side by side at the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival on June 9, just in time for Pride. This year's festival will take place at the Prospect Park Bandshell and the stars' performance will begin at 7pm (sunset time in June is 8:30pm), so expect good outdoor vibes while witnessing two of the greatest queer performers to ever grace this planet.

PJ Adzima, who currently plays the hopeful but hopelessly repressed Elder McKinley in Broadway's The Book of Mormon, hosts a neovaudevillian monthly variety show at the Slipper Room that proffers an eclectic mix of musical-theater, comedy, drag, circus and burlesque performances. A down-and-dirtier version of the show also plays there every week on Saturdays at midnight.

Not even Charli xcx could have predicted the massive success of Brat last year, when she sold out Madison Square Garden on her joint tour with Troye Sivan. Now she's coming to Brooklyn for four consecutive nights from April 30 to May 4—this time by herself—for any of us who might have missed her the go around. The impact of Brat will likely be felt in the music industry for years to come, and we're excited to catch Charli perform our favorite songs in her post-Grammys glow.

On Sunday mornings at 11am in Manhattan, GatherNYC creates the community and spiritual nourishment of a religious service, but the focus here is music. All are welcome at these hour-long performances of classical music by celebrated local artists. Coffee and pastries are included in the ticket price. These upcoming events are held at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in Columbus Circle. Shows are scheduled through June 2025. Here’s what’s on the calendar: • February 16: Sarah Elizabeth Charles (voice) and Jarrett Cherner (piano)• March 2: Toomai Quintet and Maria Brea (narrator)• March 16: Daedalus Quartet• March 30: MATA• April 13: Deborah Buck (violin) and Orli Shaham (piano)• April 27: ETHEL and Layale Chaker (violin)• May 11: Solomiya Ivakhiv (violin) and friends: Music from Ukraine• May 25: Rupert Boyd (guitar)• June 8: Orpheus and Boyd Meets Girl

The Australian rock band formed in 1983, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, has cycled through many eras, and this might be one of their most iconic yet. Last year, they released their 18th studio album, Wild God, which topped the charts across Europe and was praised for its over the top and poisitive vibes. Catch them at the Barclays Center on April 17. 

After originating the web-singing title role in the ill-fated Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, Reeve Carney swung back onto Broadway as Orpheus in Hadestown and has also played Dorian Gray in Penny Dreadful and Tom Ford in House of Gucci. Now he brings his otherworldly tenor to the Green Room 42 with a solo show that includes some standards but focuses on original songs.

The irrepressible Paul Iacono, who played the title role in MTV’s hung-teen series The Hard Times of RJ Berger, uses hits by Elton John and Bernie Taupin to regale audiences with tales of times he spent as a youth with the wind to his candle: the legendary Broadway battle-axe Elaine Stritch. (Stritch's never-realized final project was an Elton-themed cabaret.) Green Room impresario Ben Rimalower directs, and musical director Drew Wutke helps Iacono hit the John.
