WICKED SINGS BIRDS OF PARADISE MARCH 18 AT 7:00PM & 9:30PM

Feinstein's/54 Below will be defying gravity when some of Wicked's most memorable artists come together for a one night only concert version of the celebrated 1987 Off-Broadway musical Birds of Paradise, with the lyrics written by Wicked's librettist Winnie Holzman, music written by Wicked's resident conductor, David Evans, and the book co-written by both Holzman and Evans.

The Harbor Island Players is an amateur theatre group whose lives are turned upside down when a down-on-his-luck professional actor offers to direct and star in one of their productions: a musical version of Chekhov's The Seagull. As they rehearse, their egos and passions start to mirror the characters that they play. The approach of opening night drives everyone into a fever pitch until a sudden plot twist makes them all reevaluate their choices, both onstage and in life.

Birds of Paradise's award winning score features some of Evans and Holzman's loveliest songs including "Things I Can't Forget," "Imagining You," "She's Out There," and so many more!

A portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit Drama Club NYC.

Featuring: Brittney Johnson (Wicked, Beautiful), Alli Mauzey (Wicked, Cry Baby), Jeff McCarthy (Urinetown, Side Show), Bonnie Milligan (Head Over Heels), Nancy Opel (Fiddler on the Roof, Urinetown), Steve Routman ("Madame Secretary," Wolf of Wall Street), Andy Taylor (Moon Over Buffalo, Once), and Alex Wyse (Wicked, Spring Awakening, Waitress)

Expect multi-award winning composer/arranger Ron Abel's electrifying flamenco and calypso pop score to infect Kleban Award-winner Lissa Levin's sharp and involving lyrics.

Forbidden Broadway SALUTES Carol Channing, MARCH 23 AT 7:00PM

From the brilliant mind of Tony Award winning writer Gerard Alessandrini comes a brand-new revue: Forbidden Broadway Salutes Carol Channing!

More than any other star spoofed by Forbidden Broadway, Carol Channing was poked, prodded and punctured by Forbidden's merry troupe of vengeful young singers. And Carol loved every minute of it!

Numbers will include a recreation of Channing's own take off on Marlene Dietrich- the scathing number that prompted Marlene herself to storm out of the theater during Carol's performance, a sprinkling of a few classic Forbidden Broadway Diva numbers like Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, Chita Rivera, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and a premiere number- "The Spirit of Channing," a hysterically bizarre and surrealistic number where Carol Channing's Ghost roams around Broadway today dropping in and joining in on current shows like Hamilton, Anastasia, and Dear Evan Hansen.

Featuring: Gerard Alessandrini (Tony Award winner for Forbidden Broadway), Christine Pedi (Sirius XM's Dueling Divas), Michael West (The Door to Door Carol Channing)

GOT RHYTHM. THE GERSHWIN BROTHERS, MARCH 24 AT 7:00PM & 9:30PM

Deborah Grace Winer presents The Classic American Songbook Series at Feinstein's/54 Below

The best of the classic American Songbook in four jewel-box revues created especially for a supper club setting, and featuring stellar talent from Broadway and beyond.

George and Ira are one of song-writing's most successful sibling partnerships. They wrote at their kitchen table into the wee hours of the dawning Jazz Age, and their home was the hub for Broadway glitterati. George and Fred Astaire met as hustling showbiz teenagers. Ethel Merman-a secretary in Queens-joined the family when the brothers gave her her first Broadway job. Harold Arlen, Yip Harburg and other pals all came a-calling. For Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley, the Gershwin songbook is among the most recorded in history. From "Fascinatin' Rhythm" to "Embraceable You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me," this show takes a joyful look at what happens when families are hotbeds of harmony.
