Event

THE LIFE + DEATH OF KENYON PHILLIPS
THE LIFE + DEATH OF KENYON PHILLIPS is a rock opera that uses a cabaret-variety show format to explore the past, present and future of downtown performance artist Kenyon Phillips. In addition to Kenyon and his all-girl backing band, The Ladies In Waiting, the cast includes cultural critic and TV personality Michael Musto, Tony winner Cady Huffman, Tony nominee Gabriel Barre, and a host of aerialists, burlesquers, and other shining stars from the NYC circus underground. After two sold-out engagements at Joe's Pub in 2014, THE LIFE + DEATH OF KENYON PHILLIPS moves to The Box for a strictly limited run that promises more songs, more thrills, and the occasional chill.

Heavily influenced by Max Ophül's LOLA MONTES, Fellini's 8 1/2 and the entire John Waters canon, THE LIFE + DEATH OF KENYON PHILLIPS is a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking examination of identity, responsibility and truth. NOTE: This show features gunshots and strobe lights.

Dubbed "the love child of Luther Vandross and Steven Tyler" by pop culture commentator Michael Musto and "the new King of New York" by The Huffington Post, Kenyon Phillips knows how to put on a show. The wildly theatrical singer, songwriter, actor, writer, model, dancer, and DJ has been busy "being there, doing that" all over New York City since the days of Y2K. In addition to founding and fronting the bands Roma! and Unisex Salon and contributing lead vocals to Thrill A Minute, Kenyon has written and produced songs for Amy Poehler, Joey Arias, Raven O, and Sherry Vine; moonlighted as emcee of notorious variety show nightclub The Box; performed with renowned "punk ballerina" and choreographer Karole Armitage; and appeared as a silhouetted dancer in multiple campaigns for the Apple iPod. As he puts it, "There are very few things that I won't do for money." Backed by his all-girl band The Ladies In Waiting, Kenyon's stage shows are a blend of orchestral rock, surrealist theater and cabaret - frequently bolstered by surprise appearances from an array of downtown celebs. His songs have been featured on several network and cable television programs, including "Shameless" on Showtime, "Eleventh Hour" on CBS, and "The Mighty B!" on Nickelodeon. His debut solo EP "Fire in the Hole" was released in September 2013, and was helmed by multi-platinum award-winning producer, mixer and songwriter David Bendeth (Paramore, Papa Roach, Breaking Benjamin, Cowboy Junkies, Crash Test Dummies, IMA Robot). Kenyon is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
