Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
Plug in the amp. Meet Me at the End of the World is a solo rock musical from Lower East Side punk lifer Jesse Malin, written with Wilder L. Ludwig, about a career spent in clubs, vans and record stores, and the 2023 spinal stroke that nearly ended all of it.
Malin plays himself and tells the story of getting back up, with the songs to carry it. It's raw, funny and a little loud, which is how a downtown rock show should be. Ellie Heyman directs.
It plays The Public's Shiva Theater, a 99-seat room at 425 Lafayette Street, May 4 to June 13, 2027, with opening night May 12. That is a very small room for a rock show, so expect to feel the kick drum.
