88 Handmade Instruments, One Silent Film: Children of Metropolis Plays New York's United Palace for One Night Only on April 16, 2027
The United Palace, in Washington Heights, New York City, New York County, New York, has announced the New York City premiere of Children of Metropolis for one night only: Friday, April 16, 2027 at 8 p.m., with tickets from $35.
The music-theater work is performed by Scrap Arts Music: five musicians play an original score live alongside a silent film, on 88 instruments handcrafted from reclaimed industrial materials. Part sculpture and part instrument, the creations become characters in the story. Inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis, the entirely non-verbal piece unfolds through rhythm, movement and imagination for audiences of all ages.
The theatre lists a group offer: parties of 10 or more save $30 per ticket on seats priced $72 and up with a group code. The United Palace, at 4140 Broadway, is a historic 3,400-seat theatre.
The same announcement lists other upcoming programs at the house: The Muse: Bring Your Muses, a free community gathering with RSVP on December 1 at 7 p.m.; a screening of 9 to 5 (1980) on November 22 at 3 p.m. with a pre-show tribute concert to Dolly Parton; Home Alone 2 on December 6 at 6 p.m.; a historical theatre tour on December 15 at 7 p.m.; and Sonic Live in Concert on March 6, 2027 at 8 p.m.
