54 Below to Present Seth Sikes in COME A LITTLE CLOSER This Month

54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present Seth Sikes in “Come a Little Closer” on Tuesday, November 21 at 7:00 PM. Sikes will team up with pianist Tedd Firth for an intimate evening of standards. Without his usual big band, Sikes will offer a more unplugged evening than he often does, featuring mostly ballads from the American songbook. Expect songs from composers such as Harry Warren, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, and Cole Porter. Nicolas King will be a guest star. Seth and Nicolas have recently been touring the country in a duo act called The New Belters

Sikes's previous shows at 54 Below include tributes to Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, and Barbra Streisand. His show Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland captured two Broadway World Awards and a Mac Award nomination. The New York Times said, “His show was a hit with critics and audiences alike.”

Seth Sikes regularly performs his old-fashioned nightclub acts with a full band for sold-out houses at 54 Below in New York. Sikes's debut show, Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland, was awarded Broadway World's “Best Tribute Show” award. He was also the Associate Director of The Band's Visit (Broadway and National Tour), The Nance, and many other productions. During the pandemic, Sikes created a series of viral music video parodies set on Fire Island. He was the recipient of a 2022 Broadway World Award and nominated for a MAC Award. He also performs regularly in Provincetown, Puerto Vallarta, and Fire Island. As Rex Reed said in the New York Observer, “There's no telling how far Seth Sikes will go.”
