The Dresden Dolls perform their re-recorded version of Yes, Virginia, with special guest Quesa D'Mondays at the Newmark Theatre.
The Dresden Dolls play the Newmark Theatre on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 8 PM. The night is built around Yes, Virginia (Tailor's Version), a re-recorded version of the song they've played for years, and they're bringing along Quesa D'Mondays as a special guest.
If you're not familiar with them, The Dresden Dolls are a punk cabaret duo formed in Boston back in 2000 by Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione. They built their sound by blending theatrical DIY cabaret with a mix of rock, indie, folk, anti-folk, steampunk, piano rock and dark cabaret. They're best known for songs like "Coin-Operated Boy" and "My Alcoholic Friends," and they picked up several Boston Music Awards along the way. The core of the act has always been the piano and the voice, played out with a theatricality that fits the cabaret side of the description.
This particular show centers on Yes, Virginia (Tailor's Version), the re-recorded take on one of their songs. It's a piece they've lived with for a long time, and this version lets them revisit it from a different place. Quesa D'Mondays opens the night, so you'll get two acts on the bill.
