The Chronicles of Piercing Ken have been attending the BroadwayCon for a few years and as a fan of Broadway think that this event is a whole lot of fun. This year I took a page out of the PiercingMetal playbook and did a number of video interviews for the Official YouTube Channel. While resident on that network, I’ve compiled a batch of them for website content purposes. Please enjoy the first installment.

Hey there theatregoers and welcome to my second installment from the 2022 edition of “BroadwayCon”. As mentioned, this is a convention that celebrates and specializes in all things Broadway and I guess you can consider this the Comic Con of Broadway Theatre. Today I’m continuing along with the rest of the photos shot on the first and second days. As you read this the event is on its third and final day but we are unable to return based on other agenda items. Let’s start off by showcasing the Rediscover Handbags products. Really nice stuff.

Hey there my fine-feathered theatre loving friends, I am here to share the news that I am in attendance at the BroadwayCon convention which is being held at both The Manhattan Center and the New Yorker Hotel for the next few days. It’s their return to IRL events since the pandemic and one of the conditions is that you must be masked the entire time that you are inside but that’s not what I am here to share with you. I’m here to let you know that the Official Instagram for the Piercing Ken website will be taken over for the next few days as I share some of the sights and scenes with our audience on this social media platform. As you might already know if you are following the PiercingMetal Instagram, I love to share images from conventions like this because of the interesting cosplayers and vendors that I meet. Generally speaking, the attendees of the BroadwayCon get all decked out in Theatrical Cosplay. With so many current and past productions of legend to choose from its a really good time to see the hard work and skill manifest itself right before your eyes. Before I continue a little more I am going to ask that you click HERE as that will open up a new browser tag with any of the content that’s been dedicated to this years BroadwayCon. In addition to the social media posting like this I will be doing some exhibitor chats and taking lots of other photos as I can get them. The first image is down below and you should easily be able to scroll through them from there. I only ask that you help the visuals along by clicking the heart and maybe even commenting in if you like what you see. I’ve always tried to comment back or give a like to the submissions.
