A one-night-only performance celebrating a musical that tackles tough topics through song, dance and personal stories will hit the stage at an Over-the-Rhine bar this May.
The musical, label•less, is put on by Drew and Lea Lachey of Lachey Arts (yes, that Drew Lachey of 98 Degrees fame) and focuses on issues affecting our society surrounding race, sexuality and mental health, as well as the youth who inherited a world they didn’t create. label•less – unplugged at underground speakeasy Ghost Baby on Wednesday, May 22 will be an intimate, acoustic performance highlighting the “triumphant six-year journey” of the show and feature a cast of young artists who will use popular music to convey these topics.
“At Lachey Arts, we believe art thrives on connection,” Drew Lachey said in a press release. “That’s why we’re so excited to share label•less – unplugged with an audience at Ghost Baby’s intimate space. This powerful performance isn’t just about our talented cast exploring identity and acceptance; it’s a chance for them to share their voices and perspectives with the world.”
“This is exactly the kind of experience we strive to cultivate at Ghost Baby – raw, unfiltered artistry that leaves a lasting impression,” Adammichael Gesell, Ghost Baby’s general manager, said in the release. “Our space is more than just a venue; it’s a place where community is formed.”
There will be two performances of label•less – unplugged: one at 7 p.m. and another at 9 p.m. Tickets range from $27-$200, depending on table or booth size, and can be purchased online. Visit here to buy tickets for the early show, or here for the late show.
