Taking the Long Way, the album that answered years of backlash and then won Album of the Year, turns twenty, and The Chicks are marking it in theaters instead of arenas. The Beacon's gilded 1929 room puts every seat close to the stage for songs like Not Ready to Make Nice. If you have only ever seen this band from an upper deck, this is the one to get a ticket for.
What to expect
Expect a theater show built around the anniversary album in the Beacon's ornate auditorium, with the venue's immersive sound system. Doors open an hour before showtime, and the Upper West Side restaurants on Broadway make for an easy pre-show dinner.
