Benjamin Eakeley to Bring BROADWAY SWINGER to Feinstein's/54 Below in January

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents BENJAMIN EAKELEY in his solo cabaret debut, "BROADWAY SWINGER," on January 3, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. Benjamin Eakeley and his four-piece jazz band reinterpret classic songs from the 1960s in a lounge act that chronicles the American stage's evolution from conservative to carefree. "BROADWAY SWINGER" is a groovy romp through the decade that gave us Oliver!, Cabaret, Hair and Promises, Promises. True to its name, this swingin' show examines shifting attitudes toward relationships and sex as it explores life, love and everything in between.

"BROADWAY SWINGER" is directed by JV Mercanti (59E59's Songbird, Broadway's Romeo and Juliet) and music directed by James Olmstead (composer, NYMF's Gary Goldfarb: Master Escapist). Mr. Eakeley is accompanied by a four-piece jazz featuring piano, bass, drums and sax.
