"Manic Pixie Dream Girl!" Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet

City Winery NYC presents "Manic Pixie Dream Girl!" Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet live in concert on March 11th at 7:30pm

"Manic Pixie Dream Girl!”—the cabaret show based on the concept album of the same name by Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet—follows a twentysomething free-spirited young woman's inner monologue as a misrepresented indie film archetype. Through a pop-punk concert with her band, Manic Pixie Dream Girl! attempts to prove to her audience—and herself— that she is more than an object for the male gaze.

Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet is an NYC-based pop-rock/pop-punk collective. Composed of singer and songwriter Brea Fournier, guitarist Ben Shanblatt, drummer Sophia Bondi, and bassist Noah Rosner, their sound has been described as "Paramore, but in the '80s" and "Joan Jett attitude meets Joni Mitchell lyricism." In February of 2024, the band released their debut rock opera Manic Pixie Dream Girl!, recorded with producer Barb Morrison (Franz Ferdinand/Blondie). In the summer of 2023, the Dream Ballet hit the road for a West Coast Tour, making stops at legendary venues such as The Triple Door in Seattle and Kilby Court in Salt Lake City.

Fournier is a graduate of the Clive Davis Institute where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Recorded Music. With a background in musical theatre and classical voice and a passion for feminist rock music, Fournier blends all the colors of her musical palette in her live performances, giving fans an eclectic display of unapologetic hyper-femininity they won't soon forget.
