Seven years between tours means these Radio City nights carry real occasion energy — a songwriter's songwriter returning to the city that made her a Broadway force. It's for theater kids, piano-pop devotees, and anyone who has cried to She Used to Be Mine in headphones. If you want a concert that feels like an event without arena chaos, this is the graceful pick of the weekend.
What to expect
A seated, reverent Radio City crowd, gorgeous acoustics, and a set that moves between the new Good Grief material and career-spanning favorites. Bareilles is a chatty, funny presence between songs, so expect stories as much as singing. The art deco hall itself is half the ticket.
Good to know
- Radio City is steps from the B/D/F/M at 47-50th Sts-Rockefeller Center
- It's a seated theater show — good for a lower-key night out
- Rockefeller Center crowds are thick pre-show; give yourself a buffer
- The hall is fully accessible with elevator access to all levels
- Bar lines inside move fastest before the opener
