Cheap New York: Affordable live-music concerts

Truth Future Bachman has premiered a different queer-superhero sci-fi musical at Lincoln Center's David Rubinstein Atrium every fall for the past three years. Now the nonbinary singer-songwriter performs selections from all three shows of that Shapeshifters triptych—Luna & the Starbodies, Skyward: An Endling Elegy and Second Sight—at Joe's Pub, where the series originated in 2019. To expand the spectacle, Bachman is joined by dancers performing original moves by local choreographers.

Understudies, alternates and standbys get their momeents in the sun in Stephen DeAngelis's longevous cabaret series, which began in 2003 and has so far shone a spotlight on more than 1,200 performers. The March edition features Andrew Montgomery Coleman, Nicholas Cooper, Timothy H. Lee, Sydney Parra, Khadijah Rolle, Hannah Solow, Olivia Valli, Tryphena Wade and Hailee Kaleem Wright. Eugene Gwozdz is the musical director and accompanist.

Disco enthusiast Aviva Zafrin amassed more than 150k followers on TikTok with her high-spirited disco riffs, so she's taking the next logical step to fame for someone in her early 20s: cabaret! So far, it's going pretty well—this is her sixth solo show at Joe's Pub.
