Next month, 54 BELOW will present some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond.

Next week, 54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club & Private Event Destination, presents some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond. A recipient of the 2022 Tony Awards Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, 54 Below celebrates Broadway musicals and writers of the past and present, promoting an ongoing engagement with their work.

Emmy Award winner and Tony Award watcher Mauricio Martínez has had a lot of self-tape sides filling up his Dropbox. In his new show, 5’11, Based in NYC, he’s putting those to good use in a musical “What If…,” sorting through what might have been. In this video, he chats with Richard Ridge about the upcoming gig.

“GORGINE” features Artists NATALIE JOY JOHNSON (Lempicka, Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde), JOEL WAGGONER (School of Rock, Be More Chill, Advent Carolndar), and MATTHEW RISCH (Saint X, How to Get Away With Murder, Tales of the City) as ‘Lover Boy.’

With the Coronavirus stopping all social gatherings and causing the closing of Don't Tell Mama for the duration, MAC has made a change from the previously announced event which was to be held at the club.

The MAC Awards were scheduled to be celebrated on March 30th at Sony Hall. Instead they will be announced via Facebook Live from Lennie Watts' home. The times are a little different now, but the celebration of art is the same.

The Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) has announced the 2020 MAC Award nominees. The nominees were determined by votes cast by the active MAC membership, except for the four song and recording categories, which were determined by special committees.

After a lifetime overthinking every second of every day, cabarettist Molly Pope sets up camp at the Duplex to search for the one thing that has always escaped her: a good time.  Armed with the two things absolutely necessary for a good timea?"a gay man and a piano a?" she draws on a trove of old songs, new songs, and why-the-hell-not songs in changing mostly sets.

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents I Wish: The Roles That Could Have Been on June 2nd, 2019, at 9:30pm. Everyone has dreams that we fear will pass us by. For actors those come in the shape and form of roles-whether they're grown up and become too old for that child star turn, to the soprano never being considered for the baritone lead, everyone has a song in their heart that they'll likely never get to see come to fruition with a crowd and in lights.

My Beloved: A Ted Bundy Musical, which has book, music and lyrics by Clint Edwards, tells the story of serial killer Ted Bundy through the eyes of his long-time girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, and the lawman who relentlessly pursued him, Detective Robert Keppel.

From Broadway (Xanadu, Wicked, Secret Garden) to Hollywood (Grace & Frankie, Two Broke Girls) and around the NY nightlife circuit (Marty Thomas Presents Diva, 2008 Mister Broadway award), Grammy-nominated Marty Thomas is a discoball of performing talent. He returns to the Green Room 42 with his new show 'Like It's Golden', a flashy musical journey straight from Marty's personal jukebox, offering songs ranging from blues, to funk and dazzling pop.

Quite the contradiction, no one is as simultaneously surprised and unfazed by Lena Hall's success as Lena Hall.

Mandy Gonzalez "Raised The Roof" and also raised the bar at Feinstein's/54 Below last night and BroadwayWorld was there for her exciting show,

If Nikka Graff Lanzarone was going to make sure of one thing through her Feinstein's/54 Below debut show HERO WORSHIP on February 23, it was that her audience would leave knowing how to properly say her name. Lanzarone, a true-blue triple threat who most recently starred in the Off-Broadway production of SWEET CHARITY, comes from a long line of show business royalty. She, like anyone born and raised on performance, wholly acknowledges the influence of her predecessors (both within and outside of her family) on her genetic and performative makeup. Thus emerged the concept of her solo show. Using the sentient direction of Robbie Rozelle, Lanzarone pieced together through songs and video accompaniment a stroll through her life and burgeoning career, filling the show with exuberance and laughter, vocal prowess and, unexpectedly, a few tears.

Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Nikka Graff Lanzarone in Hero Worship tonight, February 23, 2017 at 7pm.
