PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN New York Performances

“PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN” arrives at The Theater at MSG as a live rock/pop set anchored by featured performer CORTIS. The title reads like a plain directive, and the show leans into that tension between attention and distraction, a familiar New York condition played out in real time in a room built for scale. If this is the project’s first New York run, it lands in a city where concerts compete with constant scrolling. One clear takeaway: the performance treats presence as the main instrument.
