Here we go again. Boston’s only omni-genre variety show returns to the Cambridge YMCA TONIGHT for fantastical, no holds barred whirlwind of talent, creativity and theatrics. For those new to this singular show series, CHEAP SEATS features short sets from local luminaries and new comers alike as dozens of musicians, poets, comedians, dancers, visual & conceptual artists make merry at this rapid-fire round robin all over the Y Theater’s stage, floor, balconies and chandeliers. With an emphasis on reckless originality, CHEAP SEATS is the place to see veteran artists stretch their chops and be blown away by something completely unheard of. Tonight will feature a motley crue including (among others) FOOM (Chris Cross), Ryan Douglas, Skyjelly Jones, Maggie Maraschino, Angela Sawyer, Jacob Rosati, Guitler Raphael, Pancho the Kid & Morgan Shaker, Greg Besun, Rose O’Malley and a truly rocking performance from metal heads ACIDOSIS. Abandon pre-conceived notions of a ‘concert performance’ and get on this free-form gravy train!
