Felicia Finley joins the tenth anniversary of DUETS: The Concert Series, at 54 Below on October 24th at 54 Below. 

Felicia Finley has established herself as one of Broadway's most versatile leading ladies. She is best known for originating the role of Linda in The Wedding Singer, which earned her critical acclaim. Felicia has also performed in roles such as Amneris in Aida, Tanya in Mamma Mia!, and April in the original production of The Life. Her Broadway debut in Smokey Joe's Café marked the beginning of a distinguished career.

A graduate of the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA), Felicia's career has spanned Broadway, Off-Broadway, national tours, and regional theater, including roles in Forbidden Broadway, Catch Me If You Can, Damn Yankees (opposite André De Shields), and Evita.

Recently, Felicia earned recognition for Patsy & Fe: Backwoods to Broadway, a cabaret developed in collaboration with musical director Michael McBride and director JoAnne Zielinski. Described as "captivating" by critics, the show follows her journey from Appalachian roots to Broadway. Her portrayal of Patsy Cline in A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline also earned her Best Actress in 2023, and she is set to reprise the role in 2025.

She has earned awards such as New York's Bistro Award for Best Cabaret and Drama League's Most Distinguished Performer. Her album, Great Mood for a Tuesday, is available on iTunes.

Felicia is grateful for the love and support of her husband, Paul Stancato, with whom she shares many creative ventures. Felicia has been a dedicated supporter of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS for over 25 years and is an advocate for animal rescues.

DUETS: The Concert Series is THE cabaret series wherein future Broadway performers are paired with their Broadway and musical theatre idols - performers who have inspired them to join, and/or stay, in this crazy world of show business.

Conceived, directed, and produced by Megan Minutillo with music direction by Andrea Yohe.
