YOUNG VOICES FOR CHANGE: MAGAZINER VOCAL STUDIO BENEFIT FOR ERIK'S WISH – OCTOBER 12 AT 7PM

Back by popular demand after FIVE sold-out performances, join internationally acclaimed singer and voice teacher Badiene Magaziner for an evening of Broadway and pop favorites with Young Voices for Change, a group founded by Badiene to give singers a platform for social awareness.

The rising MVS stars will be showcased among MVS Broadway and Off-Broadway stars including Michael Lee Brown (Dear Evan Hansen), Alayna Martus (Disney's The Lion King), Olivia Edward (Annie Get Your Gun), Aerina DeBoer (“The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Ragtime), Annabelle Kempf (Billy Elliot), Clair Rachel Howell (Wicked), Raquel Nobile Fernandez (Yiddish Fiddler), Savannah Austin (Annie), Luli Mitchell (A Christmas Story), Natalia Bingham (School of Rock), Daniella Castoria (West Side Story, LA Opera), Cara Impallomeni (Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!), and Skylar Matthews (The Sound of Music) and will raise funds for the Make-a-Wish Foundation in honor of Badiene's son, Erik.

Badiene's only child, Erik Emanuel Boelkow, was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Erik's best chance for survival was a bone marrow transplant with marrow from a healthy donor. No donor was found and Erik died at the tender age of 13. Badiene created a show called Erik's Wish as a tribute to his short but impactful life!

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Anneliese Van Der Pol: THAT'S SO LIESKE! – OCTOBER 13 AT 7PM

Disney Channel icon Anneliese Van Der Pol, currently making her long-awaited New York stage comeback in Heathers, finally returns to the 54 Below stage after ten years in That's So Lieske! She will be reunited on-stage with music director Benjamin Rauhala, with whom she toured the world in Disney Princess – The Concert, including an 85-city American tour. Beloved for playing 'Chelsea Daniels' on the record-breaking series “That's So Raven” and its spin-off “Raven's Home,” Anneliese has been a joyful part of the childhoods of multiple generations of Disney fans. But as beloved as her red hair and signature humor is her incredible singing voice – a powerful blend of Streisand and Garland that led her to making her Broadway debut as the final 'Belle' in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, originating the role of 'Kathy' in Vanities at Second Stage, and starring in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Meet Me In St. Louis, Oklahoma!, and Evita across the country.

After years of making plans together, van der Pol and Rauhala have a setlist filled with magic – from her her signature Vanities tune “Cute Boys and Short Haircuts” to her YouTube viral “A Change In Me” from Disney's Beauty and the Beast to her Radio Disney smash “Over It”…. maybe even to “Alone In The Hallways” from “That's So Raven” – the night will be filled with laughter, magic, and the timeless warmth of Anneliese's beautiful singing voice. She's in New York City for just a few weeks only, so do NOT miss out on this chance to experience a night so distinct and fun it'll leave you thinking “That's SO Lieske!”
