Ghost Quartet

Ghost Quartet

The McKittrick Hotel
542 West 27th Street New York

If you could be any kind of dead person, what kind of dead person would you be? That's perhaps the musical question pondered in the quirky four-person song cycle Ghost Quartet by Dave Malloy, now playing at The McKittrick Hotel. Malloy, who wrote the hit off-Broadway pop-opera Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, is one of the four voices, which are backed by a chamber ensemble. Seated throughout the audience, the performers will lead you through seven centuries of "the other side" in languages as varied as gospel, folk ballads, honky-tonk heartbreak anthems, electro-pop, Arabic, contemporary classic, doo-wop and jazz. Listen for references to works such as Arabian Nights, Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher and Disney's Frozen among others in this series of musical ghost tales about love, death and whiskey. With your exclusive Goldstar ticket purchase, you're guaranteed premium seating in the first three rows.
