54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, will present Amy Jo Jackson in The Brass Menagerie on November 1st, 2022 at 9:30pm. It’s not a comeback – IT’S A RETURN!

What Lisa Viggiano has as a performer that was not apparent in Jane Olivor’s work is a wry and ironic sense of humor. When Viggiano allows her spirit to come front and center, the show she has created with director Mark Nadler really flies. However, for much of the performance, it feels as if Ms. Viggiano is attempting to constrain her own ebullient personality into the earnest, serious personality of Jane Olivor. I left the show wanting less Jane Olivor and more Lisa Viggiano. In short, Jane is cramping Lisa’s style.

Award-winner Goldie Dver has been busy lately, and it all comes to a head on November 6th at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.
