Salty Brine is back – and he’s more unusual than ever.

The ghosts of two divine deviants have returned from the grave to take care of a little unfinished business. But can they get to the bottom of all their loose ends… so to speak?

Inspired by George Chauncey’s revelatory history book Gay New York, Salty Brine takes you on a stroll through the glittering underbelly of 1930s Manhattan set to the timeless music of Cyndi Lauper’s pop triumph She’s So Unusual.

 

Salty Brine is the creative force behind The Living Record Collection, a dazzling expedition into the heart of popular music that imagines tracklists as blueprints for evenings of musical mayhem, creating the perfect cabaret experience for theatre-lovers.

As Time Out New York puts it, ‘the outrageously talented Salty Brine takes classic pop albums—from Joni Mitchell’s Blue to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack—and weaves their songs into funny, perceptive tapestries of storytelling. The shows are highly addictive: Once you’ve been dunked into Brine, you’ll want to dive right back in’.
