THE GREEN ROOM 42 - Broadway's newest intimate concert venue - presented the debut of Reeve Carney on Thursday, May 3. Carney is best known for his portrayal of Dorian Gray in Showtime's 'Penny Dreadful,' Riff Raff in Fox TV's Rocky Horror Picture Show reimagining, as well as originating the role of Peter Parker in Julie Taymor and U2's Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark. Featuring selections from his five-time Independent Music Award-winning album, Youth Is Wasted, as well a few surprises from the Broadway canon and the Great American Songbook, Reeve delivered a one-man-show that feels more like an invitation only after-party than traditional concert performance.
