Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club presents the I Love You Because 10th Anniversary Reunion Concert, a concert performance by the original cast of the Drama Desk-nominated Off Broadway musical from the Larson Award-winning team of Joshua Salzman and Ryan Cunningham on Sunday, December 4 at 7:00pm and 9:30pm.

The concert stars the entire original cast: Colin Hanlon (Falsettos, Submissions Only), Farah Alvin (It Shoulda Been You, The Marvelous Wonderettes), Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Avenue Q), David A. Austin (Composer: Beaches), Courtney Balan (Falsettos), and Jordan Leeds (LES MISERABLES).

I Love You Because is the Drama Desk-nominated Off-Broadway musical that has gone on to over 100 productions around the world including translations into five languages.

I Love You Because is the story of Austin Bennet, a greeting card writer who walks in on his girlfriend with another man. He is sent back out into the New York City dating scene with only his idiot brother, Jeff, to guide him. It's there that he meets Marcy, a flaky photographer with dating troubles of her own-and an actuarial best friend, Diana, who is trying to calculate her future. In order to move on with their lives, these four Manhattanites must put their pasts behind them and learn that true happiness isn't found by loving someone in spite of their faults, but learning to say, "I Love You Because."

I Love You Because 10th Anniversary Reunion Concert plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on Sunday, December 4 at 7:00pm and 9:30pm. There is a $35-$75 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54below.com/events/love-10th-anniversary-reunion-concert.
