About this Event
Award-winning performer and Adam B. Shapiro returns to the Duplex, where he did his first solo shows in NYC to present a brand new show celebrating the songs of the silver screen with his friend and musical director Brent Marty. Since the first talking picture in 1927, music has played an integral role in the movies we love and many songs have reached legendary status, being played and sung still to this day. You’ll hear songs from the splashy movie musicals, to the instantly recognizable theme songs of movies from the 60s, 70s and 80s. From Judy Garland to Elvis Presley to Kenny Loggins. And certainly a healthy dose of Disney. There’s truly something for everybody, so grab your popcorn, sit back and relax. It’s HOLLYWOOD OR BUST!
