On the latest episode of "The Set List" podcast, director/writer/producer Robbie Rozelle sits down with Victor Legrá to talk about his solo cabaret debut "Songs From Inside My Locker." Robbie Rozelle in "Songs From Inside My Locker" plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on June 9, 2017 at 9:30.

After creating hit shows for Jessica Vosk, Melissa Errico, Kate Baldwin and Nikka Graff Lanzarone, writer/director Robbie Rozelle turns the tables on himself with his debut solo show, "Songs From Inside My Locker."

Wandering his high school hallways, Robbie would often find himself shoved in a locker for singing from The Rink too loudly. With his signature wit and style, Robbie grabs the tiger by the tail in a hilarious romp of the songs that got him through a blistering high school experience, a treasure trove of songs ranging from Kander & Ebb to Carrie. Featuring special guests and a fantastic band, "Songs From Inside My Locker" is the balm to the chaos of these crazy times.
