"But less than three weeks later, on February 18, the same address at 327 Bowery will relaunch as the Bowery Palace, a 100-seat theater designed for something a little more intimate than amps and mosh pits. The inaugural act won't be a touring band or DJ residency, but a deeply personal stage show from co-owner Jesse Malin. His autobiographical production, Silver Manhattan , will run five nights a week through March 29, marking the venue's transition into a theater space."
"Nearly three years ago, Malin suffered a rare spinal-cord stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down, making him pause on large-scale touring. Since returning to the stage, he's focused on projects that bring the audience closer-think smaller rooms and fewer seats. There's also history baked into the move. Malin grew up around the Bowery, played CBGB as a teenager and comes from a family tied to the neighborhood's bar scene."
The Bowery Electric will close its run as a rock club on January 30 and will relaunch at the same address as the Bowery Palace, a 100-seat theater, on February 18. The inaugural production is Silver Manhattan, an autobiographical stage show by co-owner Jesse Malin that will play five nights a week through March 29. The show, written by Malin and Lauren Ludwig and directed by Ellie Heyman, runs about 90 minutes and mixes music and memory. The production is inspired by Malin's forthcoming memoir and reflects his shift toward smaller, more intimate performances after a spinal-cord stroke. The venue change also acknowledges longstanding neighborhood history and local shifts on the Bowery.
