The Green Room 42- Incredible

By Jody Prusan

It’s absolutely incredible to me what’s happening monthly at The Green Room 42. Its a not to be missed musical experience. For Broadway audiences, Entertainers and visitors to NY – this is truly a spectacular show in an intimate setting and nowhere else can you see and hear first-hand stories from the next generation of Broadway stars. The evening is titled; AT THIS PERFORMANCE and each month it’s a unique and star-studded cast. You can attend once or as many times as desired as each show is 100% original and unique and there are some patrons who have purchased tickets  for the rest of the year! There is one man behind the concept, production and casting and it’s Stephen DeAngelis! Stephen introduces and hosts the events, and when we spoke, he said, “This ongoing concert series has proven to be one of the most rewarding highlights of my career. Little did I dream when I presented the first one twenty years ago in October 2003 that I would have the honor of showcasing the talents and versatility of over 1200 performers, it has been thrilling to watch them all as they advance in their careers”.

Stephen DeAngelis continues his ongoing salute to Broadway and Off-Broadway Standbys, Understudies and Alternates at The Green Room 42, Green Fig, Fourth Floor, Yotel NYC, 570 Tenth Avenue (at 42nd Street), New York, NY 10036 at 7 PM. Produced and hosted by Casting Director Stephen DeAngelis, the critically acclaimed series allows the performers to showcase their versatility and share anecdotes about their experiences. The series was acknowledged in Broadway World’s List of “Best Club,Cabaret and Concert for 2021”and has been called “an  artistic triumph that all should seek out and see”.

“As a native New Yorker, who lives theater, finding a totally unique NYC event is a treat- – and At
This Performance satisfies.  We were introduced to it by HS friend, David Rimmer, and since
then, it has become de riguer. Once a month, we gather and hear some young, and not so
young, Bway performers share a song from a role they cover, and then 1-2 of their own
choosing. Honestly, the level of talent shared here is so high, it makes one so proud of what our
city contains! One understudy brought to the stage was Margery Cohen- who was making her
bway debut. In her 70s! I knew her spectacular voice from a 1970s revue- “Starting Here, Starting
Now”. And I got to tell her how much her music meant to me, as ATP is intimate and the
performers are easily accessible.
