Playing @
Delacorte Theater
Central Park, New York, NY 10003
The event of the season is coming to The Delacorte Theater for three free performances. MacArthur Fellowship-winning icon Taylor Mac reunites with Obie Award-winning composer Matt Ray to share songs from their epic rock-opera meditation on queerness, BARK OF MILLIONS, featuring special guests and performers from the original production. This special concert version—adapted for an evening in Central Park—is an electrifying blend of performance, live music, and drag spectacle. Inspired by queer figures past and present, the duo crafts an expansive new canon of original songs, inviting audiences into a space of reflection, community, and exuberant celebration. As Mac says, if you’re not invited to the party, throw a better one! Produced by Pomegranate Arts. 

While you can make a $75 or $150 donation to reserve tickets in advance, free day-of tickets will be distributed in person at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, in person at The Public Theater; via a digital TodayTix lottery; and at an in-person standby line right before each show. A Public Theater Patron ID is required to receive FREE tickets, so be sure to register for one in advance.
