Caught Duncan Sheik at the beautiful Mahaiwe and it was one of the best, most entertaining concerts we’ve ever been to. He performed old hits, Spring Awakening tunes, and a set from his upcoming album Whisper House. He is truly talented and we were so lucky to have had him in Great Barrington. If you’re in Albany on 11/16, don’t miss Duncan at The Egg!

Duncan Sheik, the 38-year-old alternative rocker and songwriter, has had a cult following since his days at Brown University. He made Broadway history when Spring Awakening, his musical about adolescent sexuality, opened to rave reviews on Broadway. “A straight shot of eroticism steamed open last night at the Eugene O’Neill Theater under the innocuous name of Spring Awakening, and Broadway, with its often puerile sophistication and its sterile romanticism, may never be the same,” Charles Isherwood wrote in The New York Times. “Mr. Sheik’s music, spare in its simple orchestrations, lush in the lapping reach of its seductive choruses, embodies the shadowy air of longing that infuses the show, the excitement shading into fear, the joy that comes with a chaser of despair. “
Sheik is touring with some members of Spring Awakening‘s original cast—including Tony winner Lauren Pritchard—for concerts on November 15 at the Mahaiwe in Great Barrington and on November 16 at the Egg in Albany. In these belt-tightening times, it’s comforting to think that three Duncan Sheik tickets at either venue cost less than a single ticket to a Broadway show.
