Andy Roninson & Sean McVerry: The Real Kyle McCarren

After a sold-out Joe's Pub show in 2025, the multiple award-winning new musical THE REAL KYLE McCARREN returns! When Andy’s best friend and bandmate Kyle suddenly dies, he does what any highly neurotic composer would do— he writes a show about it. What starts as a tribute spirals into a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, and heart-wrecking journey through memory, grief, and rock and roll. 

Starring Andy Roninson (Jonathan Larson Grant recipient) as himself with co-writer indie rock artist Sean McVerry (AURORA, DangerMouse) alongside Vincent Jamal Hooper (The Lion King, Hamilton), Jaygee Macapugay (Suffs, The Last Ship), Sarah Coffey (31 Candles, Devil's Workshop) and musicians Paige Andrews (Six) on drums and Jamie Mohamdein (Mozart to Pop Chart) on bass. Co-directed by Emmy Award-winning and Tony Award-nominated team Lonny Price and Matt Cowart, joined by resident director Jim Fagan, THE REAL KYLE McCARREN blurs the line between truth and storytelling in a one-of-a-kind, joy-filled comedy about a friendship that transcends life and death.
