THE METROPOLITAN ROOM, the Internationally Acclaimed Jazz Cabaret, presents The Perks of Being A Snowflake: Songs by Billy Recce on September 15th at 9:30, featuring Recce, a cast of some of New York’s finest and funniest talents and a collection of startlingly relevant satire tunes.
Billy Recce (NYMF’s Youngest Ever Composer for Balloon Boy: The Musical) makes his Metropolitan Room debut in an evening of outrageous, irreverent and bitingly satirical musical theatre songs that have charmed audiences across Manhattan. After successful New York concert engagements at Feinstein’s/54 Below and the York Theatre Company, his trunk of barely legal, musical debauchery is making its way to 22nd Street! Often compared to a young Tom Lehrer, nineteen year old Recce is one of the youngest composer/lyricists to have a solo show at The Metropolitan Room! Called “an imaginative, charismatic writer with a nimble, fiery pulse” and “his generation’s answer to Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, Jonathan Larson or Lin Manuel Miranda,” Recce’s songs are tuneful, poignant and shamelessly laugh in the faces of Betsy DeVos, Neo-ˇNazis, “LaLa Land”, and beyond.
Leading the lineup of performers is Nikisha Williams, Samantha Parrish, Rachel Ravel, Alexa Joseph, Sarah Rachel Lazarus, and Victoria Duffy. Recce’s team of musicians includes Adam Mastrocola on Drums and Adam Bailey on Bass Guitar.
Tickets for the 9:30 PM concert, which start at $20, can be purchased at metropolitanroom.com. The Metropolitan Room is located at 34 West 22nd Street in Manhattan.
