F. Michael Haynie Joins 'BRIDGE THE GAP' at Feinstein's/54 Below

F. Michael Haynie (Wicked, Dogfight, NBC's Peter Pan LIVE!) has joined NEXT Concert Series: Bridge the Gap at Feinstein's/54 Below.

The NEXT concert series has run both in the US and in the UK as a platform for new musical theatre writers to share their work.

Now, in the next phase of this concert series, writers from both sides of the pond will unite to share their work-featuring brilliant talent from the New York theatre community. Writers included in the evening thus far are Finn Anderson, Bobby Cronin, Gus Gowland, Joe Iconis, and Eamonn O'Dwyer. Additional writers will be announced earlier next week!

A portion of the evening's proceeds will go to a charity for mental health awareness, which will also be announced later in the week. Follow along our rehearsal journey with the hashtag #songstoheal.

Haynie joins a cast that features the dazzling vocal stylings of Maddie Shea Baldwin (Bright Star), Preston Truman Boyd (She Loves Me, On the Twentieth Century, Bullets Over Broadway, Big Fish), Chad Carstarphen (In the Heights Nat'l Tour, Beth and Charly), Marisa Dargahi, David R. Gordon, Jennifer Haining, Melissa Rose Hirsch (The Bad Years), Lizzie Klemperer (Bright Star), Alicia Krakauer, Angelo McDonough, Molly Model, T.J. Newton, Christina Sajous (Holler if You Hear Me, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, Baby It's You, American Idiot), Ariana Sepúlveda, and Mathieu Whitman (A Christmas Carol Nat'l Tour, Pinkalicious the Musical), with additional performers to be announced!
