World-renowned singer-songwriter Jesse Malin brings his deeply personal theatrical work Silver Manhattan Off-Broadway for a limited six-week engagement beginning February 18 through March 29, 2026, at New York City’s Bowery Palace. Following a sold-out workshop residency at the Gramercy Theatre, the 90-minute production blends storytelling and live music, starring Malin backed by his full band. Written by Malin and Lauren Ludwig, the piece is directed by Ellie Heyman and features music direction by Tony-nominated Justin Craig, with nightly pre-show gatherings and special guest appearances throughout the run.
Silver Manhattan traces a coming-of-age journey rooted in the streets of New York City, shaped by community, survival, and creative resilience. Malin calls it “the most personal thing I’ve ever done on stage,” describing it as a way to reconnect with the Bowery, where his musical life first took shape. The show also reflects Malin’s recent chapter of recovery and renewal, standing as a love letter to New York and a powerful act of creative persistence inspired by his upcoming memoir ‘Almost Grown: A New York Memoir’.
