It’s happening!!!!
We’re so excited to share the news that #BarkofMillions will take the stage at BAM’s Harvey Theater for its US PREMIERE from February 5-10 before heading cross-country to Cal Performances at UC Berkeley from Feb 23-25.
We couldn’t be happier to be at @bam_brooklyn to share this queer extravaganza with our hometown crowd this fall. Tickets starting at $35 are on sale to BAM members today and to the general public on Thursday.

The team unleashes their creativity in a rock opera meditation on queerness, featuring 55 original songs by Mac and Ray and a bevy of costumes by Dazzle. With the fierce elation of a pride parade, Bark of Millions is a luxuriant, provocative spectacle unlike any other.
