Broadway icons Robin de Jesús and Linedy Genao are coming uptown for When You’re Home: An Uptown Cabaret—one unforgettable night celebrating the music, memories, and mischief that make New York feel like home. 🎭🎶

Part Broadway concert, part Latin music fever dream, part family party, this genre-hopping love letter to Uptown moves from Juan Gabriel to Sondheim—and somehow, it all makes perfect sense. Expect big voices, sharp humor, sazón, and the joyful chemistry of two beloved Broadway stars.

Created especially for The People’s Theatre, this one-night-only cabaret celebrates the immigrant stories, neighborhood rhythms, and beautifully chaotic Uptown spirit of Washington Heights and Inwood.

📅 November 2 at 7:30 PM
📍 The People’s Theatre, 419 West 206th Street, Inwood
🎟️ Tickets: $25–$75, inclusive of fees. Get yours now at the link in bio!
