CHERRY BOMB: A REDHEAD CABARET to Make Debut at 54 Below

54 BELOW will present Cherry Bomb: A Redhead Cabaret on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at 9:30 p.m. The one-night event, directed and produced by Sydney Ciencin and Piper Redford, celebrates the talents, individuality, and spirit of redheaded performers through an evening of musical theatre favorites and contemporary showstoppers.

Designed as both a celebration and a showcase, Cherry Bomb embraces what makes its performers unique beyond their signature red hair. The cabaret will feature iconic songs associated with memorable redheaded characters alongside dynamic musical theatre numbers performed by a cast of rising performers.

In addition to celebrating the redhead community onstage, the event will also support a meaningful cause. A portion of proceeds from the evening will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, continuing the organization's longstanding mission of providing essential services and support to members of the performing arts community and people living with HIV/AIDS.

Music direction and accompaniment will be provided by Robert Neumeyer.

The evening will feature performances by Molly Blackburn, Sam Corry, Rylynn Davis, Sydney Dotson, Jessa Kate Driscoll, Seth Greenberg, Annika Jonker, Emma Kopec, Liz Leclerc, Megan Ludwig, Lola Matos, Aidan McCracken, JJ McDonough, Maeve McNeal, Emily Frances Patrick, Elo Paulorinne, Daniel Poulos, Eleanor Rowley, Ellis Stephens, Savannah Trotter, Vivian Waye, Paige Weir, and Millie Yocum Surfas.
