As previously reported, the inaugural production will be a six-week Off-Broadway run of "Silver Manhattan," Jesse Malin's theatrical show, following a sold-out workshop residency at the Gramercy Theatre this past fall.
"Silver Manhattan" will play five nights a week starting tonight through March 29. Performances are scheduled for Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m. The 90-minute show will feature special guest appearances, including Lenny Kaye, Cynthia Sley, and Butch Walker this week, throughout the run, along with nightly pre-show gatherings.
"'Silver Manhattan' is the most personal thing I've ever done on stage," Malin said in a statement announcing the Bowery Palace. "I wanted to run it in a smaller theater and look into the eyes of everyone in the room. I have so much history on the Bowery — I played CBGB as a kid and grew up in the neighborhood. My grandfather sold liquor to the bars up and down the Bowery. It's nice to go back to the scene of the crime."
Tickets are on sale now at SilverManhattan.com.
Other upcoming shows at the Bowery Palace include a tribute to late Blondie drummer Clem Burke (both nights now sold out).
In May 2023, Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Malin, a partner in several local establishments, including Niagara, 96 Tears, and the Bowery Palace, launched his music career at age 12 while fronting the hardcore band Heart Attack. He later served as the lead vocalist of D Generation in the 1990s.
He has become a prolific singer-songwriter, with nine studio albums and collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and Billie Joe Armstrong.
Bowery Electric closed at No. 327 on Jan. 30, ending a 17-year run of live bands and performances.
