From the team behind the Tony Award–winning Freestyle Love Supreme, Freestyle+ takes live performance into uncharted territory—where hip-hop, improv, movement, and theater collide in the moment of creation.
Built on the pulse of the cipher, Freestyle+ brings together celebrated artists Anthony “Two Touch” Veneziale, Aneesa “Young Nees” Folds, Manny “Packsawow” Houston, and Chris “Shockwave” Sullivan to create, remix, and respond in real time. Beats drop, bodies move, stories unfold—nothing is pre-planned, and everything is possible. Each performance is a living, breathing exchange shaped by the artists, the space, and the energy in the room.
Tony Award-Winner, Anthony Veneziale, a founding member of Freestyle Love Supreme, joins forces with Broadway performer and improviser Aneesa Folds, world-champion beatboxer and musical innovator Manny Houston, and acclaimed human beatbox artist Chris Sullivan. Together, they transform audience suggestions into spontaneous performances that blur the boundaries between concert, theater, comedy, and community gathering.
From tightly held grooves to explosive bursts of spontaneity, Freestyle+ offers a front-row seat to creativity in motion—immediate, unpredictable, and alive. Every show is unique. Every moment is made in the room. And every audience helps shape what happens next.
Rush Tickets: A limited number of $25 rush tickets will be on sale for this performance, starting 20 minutes before the program begins, in person only, subject to availability. Customers will be instructed to line up outside no earlier than 45 minutes before the start of the show in order to access rush tickets, which are max 2 per customer.
