Join us at 54 as we celebrate the Broadway musicals of the legendary composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein. Produced and hosted by Michael Portantiere, with Matthew Martin Ward as musical director/pianist, our event will showcase great songs from Bernstein's first Broadway hit, On the Town, as well as Wonderful Town, Candide, and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. We will also feature some rarities, including samples of songs for which Bernstein wrote music and lyrics for a 1950 Broadway production of Peter Pan. The centerpiece of our show will be a tribute to what is arguably Bernstein's greatest masterpiece, West Side Story, on the 65th anniversary to the day of that immortal musical's Broadway opening on September 26, 1957.
Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required to enter the club.

BWW Review: CHRISTINE ANDREAS: AND SO IT GOES is a Balm for Challenging Times at 54 Below
September 25, 2021Christine Andreas' show, AND SO IT GOES, which opened at 54 Below last evening, doesn’t contain even a whiff of politics. But it focuses on the disjointedness the past decade or so has created in all our souls and holds up art and music as a way out of some of the chaotic noise that is making us lesser humans. It is a celebration of our collective humanity and an embrace of some of our best qualities as a species: kindness, tenderness, compassion, and love. That’s a lot to pack into a 70 minute cabaret evening. But Christine Andreas is no ordinary cabaret performer. In addition to her prodigious gifts as a singer and actress, she has always used her keen mind to focus on the bigger questions. She set out constructing this show as a way to cheer herself up. But what evolved is much more. It is a journey into the darkness and out again.
