The Green Room 42 presents the return of Jaime Cepero on Saturday, May 25 at 9:30 PM for the latest of the venue’s “New Writers” series. After a “smash” debut concert of original music last year, Cepero, who was Ellis Boyd on TV’s “smash,” returns to the club with more gospel punk tales of love, lust and poetry. Audience members will hear brand new material as well as old favorites. Blending the sounds of punk rock, gospel, and a hint of musical theater, Cepero’s original music has been performed at venues in the New York nightlife scene, including Joe’s Pub, Mercury Lounge, Arlene’s Grocery, Pianos and The Cutting Room. Opening for the evening will be the recording artist Stones, as well as singers from Broadway, television and beyond. The show will feature special musical guests Paul Victor, Courtney Daniels, Stephanie Nash and Michelle Dowdy and more. The evening is being directed by Chris Fink.
Cepero’s television credits include “Mess,” “I Am Michael,” “Good Morning America,” and the upcoming feature “Jess” from Comedy Central’s Dan Hurwitz. He recently starred as Ben in the Off-Broadway run of the new rock musical Night of the Living Dead. As a composer, his musical Francois and the Rebels (a punk rock telling of the 1791 Haitian Revolution) was a part of MTF musicals 4X15 workshop series and Joe’s Pub concert program, and is set to receive a staged lab this August. Cepere also appeared as Claude in the 50th anniversary staging of Hair at the Dallas Theater Center.
