PHOTO: JASON KRUPPA | Preservation Hall will resound with the mile-a-minute raps of Boyfriend, the nerd-eclectic rapper, songwriter, and performance artist on Friday and Saturday night long after the traditional jazz bastion has said goodbye to the last fans of clarinets, sousaphones, and trumpets. Her sets start at midnight both nights.
The show is a very special one coinciding with both the Voodoo Music Experience, which is taking over City Park all weekend, and Halloween celebrations in New Orleans. The show, called “Hag,” is a scripted and immersive, three-act concert-experience. Boyfriend wrote, directs, and produces the show.
“Hag” features a variety of performers playing different roles. Boyfriend is listed as the “bride,” the “whore,” and the “hag.” The three acts each have names. Act I is “The Ideal Woman,” act II is “Into the Brothel…,” and act II is “To the Dark Side.” For fans of Boyfriend and curious newcomers interested in the sex-positive, female artist known for performing in lingerie and giant curlers, this will be an experience like no other. Tickets are going fast, so get yours a soon as possible.
