Broadway Dance Party: Sing, Dance, Costume Night

Broadway Rave is set for Friday, May 22, at Backstage at Revel in Albuquerque, with venue listings showing doors at 8:30 p.m. and the show at 9 p.m. Revel’s event calendar lists the party as a 21-and-over event presented by Psyko Steve. Visit Albuquerque describes it as a Broadway-themed dance party built around show tunes, sing-alongs and costumes. Etix lists advance tickets at $25.50, with fees included separately at checkout. ### When does it start, and why do listings show two different times? Revel’s event calendar lists Broadway Rave on Friday, May 22, with “Doors: 8:30 pm | Show: 9 pm” at Backstage at Revel. The listing places it at 4720 Alexander Blvd. NE in Albuquerque and marks the event as 21 and up. Visit Albuquerque lists the same event at Revel Backstage with a time window of 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. (revelabq.com) The difference appears to be that one listing gives door and show times, while the tourism calendar gives a shorter event window. Etix also lists doors at 8:30 p.m. and the event running from 9 p.m. on May 22 to 1 a.m. on May 23. ### What kind of event is Broadway Rave? Visit Albuquerque describes Broadway Rave as “a Broadway Dance Party celebrating the best in show-tunes and musical theatre.” The listing says attendees can “sing along to all of your favorite Broadway hits” and come dressed as a favorite character. Etix uses similar language, pitching the event to “Musical Theatre nerds, drama geeks, actors, actresses, theatre lovers, and more.” The ticket page says the format centers on Broadway songs, audience sing-alongs and costumes, and adds that there will be “surprise guests from some of your favorite Broadway stars.” (visitalbuquerque.org) Broadway Rave’s own website describes the brand as “A Musical Theatre Dance Party Celebrating the Best of Broadway.” The site’s show page lists stops in cities including Los Angeles, St. Petersburg, New York and Washington, indicating the Albuquerque date is part of a touring event rather than a one-off local production. ### Where in Albuquerque is it happening? (etix.com) Backstage at Revel is the listed venue for the May 22 event. Visit Albuquerque gives the address as 4720 Alexander Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107, and includes Revel’s contact information on the event page. Revel’s own calendar separates the Broadway Rave booking from a same-night event in the larger Revel room. (broadwayrave.com) That listing shows “Punchis Punchis: Banda Rave Experience featuring 3ballmty and Rayburger” in Revel, while Broadway Rave is booked specifically in Backstage at Revel. ### How much are tickets, and who can attend? Etix lists advance admission at $25.50 and says a processing fee may apply at checkout. (visitalbuquerque.org) The ticket page also says the venue uses all-in pricing, with taxes calculated separately, and sets a limit of 10 tickets per order. The same Etix page and Revel’s venue calendar both say the event is for ages 21 and older. (revelabq.com) That age restriction is one of the clearest planning details for anyone deciding whether to attend Friday night. ### Where should people check before heading out? Visit Albuquerque, Revel and Etix all carry public listings for the May 22 stop, and each includes overlapping but slightly different timing details. (etix.com) Revel’s calendar is the clearest source for doors and show time, while Etix carries the ticketing information and Visit Albuquerque carries venue contact details. Friday’s event is listed at Backstage at Revel in Albuquerque, with doors at 8:30 p.m., showtime at 9 p.m., an age minimum of 21 and advance tickets at $25.50. (revelabq.com)
