Here is our BroadwayWorld.com Article.

Hey All,

The Peter Pan rock’n roll musical I’m a part of, DARLING, is tonight at 8pm at Ars Nova (511 W. 54th btwn 10th/11th.)  Awesomely (but unfortunately for those who wanted to buy their tickets at the door) the show is completely sold out – However, if you want to come rock out with us you can still try by showing up 30 minutes before the show and getting your name on a wait list!!  The show is a rock concert/reading of just part of their current draft but even this little tidbit we are performing is freakin’ amazing!  See all those who have tickets or will luckily get some tonight at the show!!!

I won’t grow up,

Mark

Hey all,

I will be singing in a concert version of a new rock musical called DARLING by Jesse Geiger and Nathan Leigh at ANT Fest.  DARLING is a “Peter Pan-inspired rock musical that recasts the Lost Boys as geeky Bushwick hipsters wandering through video game- and pop culture infused Brooklyn.”  I will be singing the role of Peter.  I am stoked to be a part of the show however, I’m saddened to report that I will not get to wear green tights.  The show is Saturday, November 5th at 8pm at Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street)  Tickets are $10!!  See you at the show!
