This performance will also be livestreamed. For tickets and more information, click here.
Join us for Secretly Strouse: A Treasure Trove of Hidden Charles Strouse Songs that have been hiding between the lead sheets of the Strouse songs you already know! … Until now.
Written with the same panache as the others in the Strouse catalogue, many of the songs in this evening are from the shows he wrote when no one was looking: Mayor, The New Golden Boy, Martin, Before the Dream, Dance A Little Closer, Real Men, and more. Like his well known songs, all are memorable Strouse tunes, but unlike the others, many have Strouse lyrics and of course, all have that lovable and infectious Strouse heart. You’ll hear songs that are hilariously funny (“The Day My Wife Got Sick”), fascinatingly politically incorrect (“You Can Be a New Yorker Too”), heartbreakingly tender (“What Am I Gonna Do Without You?”), and shockingly smart (“You Never Know“)… all secretly Strouse.
Yes, these songs have been well-kept musical secrets until director Jeffrey B. Moss (Mayor, The New Golden Boy, Rags) gathered Strouse-loving Broadway and cabaret singers to explore and rediscover them for this event. “Charles had a special place in his heart for these songs,” Moss says, “Even at 96, these were the songs he wanted to sing when we got together. He would be so happy to know that we can share them with everyone now.”
For sure there will be a lot of “happy faces” when these Strouse “secrets” are set free at 54 Below! Be there to share! Charles will be smiling.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN MUSICAL THEATRE WITHOUT REALLY DYING BOOK LAUNCH CONCERT PARTY – MARCH 13 AT 9:30PM
For the last thirteen years, Tony Award® winner Lindsay Mendez and Kleban/Larson/Rodgers Award winner Ryan Scott Oliver have devoted themselves to guiding actors’ careers, sharpening their craft, and supporting them not only as artists but as people. In that time, Actor Therapy has grown far beyond “just a class”—what began with eight students at Ripley-Grier has exploded into year-round training, transformative intensives, hundreds of new students each year, and a thriving alumni community thousands strong.
Which is why the duo is thrilled to celebrate their brand-new book—nearly 450 pages packed with the same big tips, hot takes, and “knowledge bombs” Actor Therapy is famous for. From building a brand to polishing an audition package to booking the job—and, most importantly, sustaining a long, joyful career in musical theatre—the book is a no-nonsense guide to doing the damn thing. It’s called How to Succeed in Musical Theatre Without Really Dying (with a foreword by Jonathan Groff) and it arrives March 3, 2026.
To mark the moment, Mendez and Oliver host a one-night-only concert launch party at 54 Below, featuring Actor Therapy alums past and present—from Broadway, Off-Broadway, national tours, regional theatres, and an army of insanely gifted up-and-comers.
PLUS: the night will include live “super tips and tricks,” shared from the book—designed to help every audience member succeed in musical theatre… without really dying. Come toast the book, cheer the artists, and witness why Actor Therapy has become a movement. Music direction by Jason Wetzel.
Featuring Ryan Scott Oliver, Lindsay Mendez, and incredible students/alums from Actor Therapy including Mat Armada, Alex Bates, Ethan Carlson, Emma Claye, Marcellis Cutler, Caitlin Doak, Nathan David Smith, Alexander Fernandez, Alina Fontanilla, Hannah E. Feldstein, Riley Osorio Finn, Cydney Gleckner, Joe Hornberger, Emma Rose Johnson, Kamryn Lee Koerner, Kalèa Leverette, Cassidy Layton, Sasha Lippis, Miranda Luze, Matthew Moròn, Jack B.

These aren’t the stories we thought we’d tell, and the moments may not have looked like the dreams we once held—but somehow, they became just right. Through song and story, we explore the beauty in the unplanned, the joy in the misfit, and the quiet revelation that what we needed wasn’t always what we expected.
This year’s theme was inspired by the song “Not Exactly Paris” by Michael Leonard and Russell George.
Featuring Teagan Becker, Chloee Brill, Kinnley Burke, Allison Cento, Doug Delaney, Thalia (Angel) Hart, Katie Hayes, Hailey Higgs, Molly Johnson, Bailee Loging, Ian McCaslin, Savannah Meinert, Tyler Newman, Jewel Ramos, Amberly Rodriguez, and Sophie Zedler.

JOSEPH THOR AND FRIENDS CRAFT A MUSICAL, VOLUME 3 – MARCH 29 AT 9:30PM
This performance will also be livestreamed. For tickets and more information, click here.
Join Joseph Thor and Friends as they once again craft a brand new musical at 54 Below! The secret formula to a great musical is actually not a secret at all. There are archetypal numbers that make up all of the best shows. You might even know some by name, like “The Eleven O’Clock Number” (“Rose’s Turn,” anyone?) or the “I Want Song,” (“The Wizard and I,” is a fav) but there are even more like the “Charm Song” (“Modern Major General,” perhaps) or even the “Soliloquy” (and not just the song from Carousel) you may not have heard of. Using this formula we have compiled the best songs across the musical theater catalog in each category to create a new super-musical!
Come experience the greatest musical ever made with some of NYC’s newest talent.
Featuring Ethan Hardy Benson, Kirsten Lynn Butler, Aidan Callaghan, Will Ormsby Cary, Megan Castellane, Tessa DeGrace, Emerson Fischer, Rachael Gomez, Margaret Heiskell, Mason Jett, Cynthia Kauffman, Kenny Lee, Noi Maeshige, Meaghan Maher, Katy Manderfeld, Michael Mariniello, Nino Ruggeri, Joseph Thor, Sophie Tyler, Freddy Vaccaro, Teddy Wavle, Ryan Widd, Riley Thad Young, Jason Zuckerman, and Sean Zuckerman.
$40.50 cover charge (includes $5.50 in fees). $68 premium seating (includes $8 in fees). $25 food & beverage minimum.
Storm Large – MARCH 30 & 31 AT 7PM
This performance contains adult content and explicit language. We do not recommend the performance for children below the age of 12.
Storm Large tours the world as lead singer of Pink Martini, sings Kurt Weill with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, and plays theaters and concert halls nationwide with her longtime band Le Bonheur, but it’s 54 Below that she loves returning to the most. She’s a bit singer/songwriter, a bit rockstar, and a lot of awesome. Joined by her band (and her ukelele), Storm brings her newest show—blending the American Songbook with the heart of rock n’ roll—to 54 Below for this exclusive NYC engagement. Whether it’s her originals, Cole Porter, Billie Eilish or Queen, you’ll want to be left in the wake of this storm.
$73.50 cover charge (includes $8.50 in fees). $117.50 premium seating (includes $12.50 in fees). $25 food & beverage minimum.
