Performances to see on Saturday April 28th in Chelsea

Erik den Breejen will recite the entire double album of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, Saturday, April 28, 6 pm at Freight and Volume, 542 West 24th Street.

Isabella Rosselini, in the audience. All of this in St. John’s Cathedral of the Divine–if you’re not there this weekend, you’re crazy.
