Billy Stritch to Honor Cy Coleman at 54 Below Concert in September

54 BELOW will welcome back Grammy Award® winner Billy Stritch! This mesmerizing entertainer returns on September 23 & 24 at 7pm. For reservations and information, visit 54below.com/BillyStritch.

Billy Stritch is delighted to bring a brand new show to 54 Below, spotlighting the music of legendary tunesmith Cy Coleman. He'll be joined this time by a swinging jazz trio (Tom Hubbard on bass and Ray Marchica on drums), all the better to perfectly celebrate one of Broadway and pop music's jazziest composers. The show will include Cy's biggest pop hits ("The Best Is Yet To Come," "Witchcraft"), songs from his Broadway shows (Sweet Charity, City Of Angels), and many undiscovered and unknown gems.

Cy Coleman was the composer of a dozen Broadway scores and a multitude of "stand-alone" pop songs in addition to being a world-class jazz pianist. It was Billy's honor to meet Cy in 1991 and the two formed a friendship built on their mutual love of jazz and showbiz. Billy almost always includes one or two of Cy's compositions in his shows and is excited to be creating an evening of this great material for the very discerning 54 Below audience!
