EVAN RUGGIERO, December 1 at 11:30PM:

Evan Ruggiero returns to 54 Below, this time with experimental soul/funk trio, Fredo. Join them as they take you through a sound warp of music, dance, and explosive vocals. Fredo is comprised of musicians, Jason Kennedy, Ray Carega, and Brendan Daily. Evan began dancing at the age of 5 in his hometown studio and by age 10, he was accepted into the famed New Jersey Tap Ensemble, under the direction of Deborah Mitchell. At age 19, Evan was suddenly diagnosed with a rare bone cancer, Osteosarcoma, resulting in the amputation of his right leg. After undergoing months of chemotherapy and additional surgeries to save his life, Evan began to teach himself how to tap dance again by using a peg-leg. He as appeared all over the country motivational speaking and performing, and has had appearances on television shows such as The Ellen Show, Un Nuevo Diá, American Idol, CBS Inside Edition, and Show Me St. Louis. He is currently in the new workshop production of PANIC! The Musical. $15 cover charge. $25 premium seating. $20 food and beverage minimum or two drinks.

MATT DOYLE & THE WHISKEY 5, December 4 at 10:30PM:

Special guests will range from Tony-nominated Broadway stars to Matt's dearest friends and family. The December 4th show will be recorded live for an official album release. To help make the season even more bright, Matt and his band will reunite for a release concert of the same set on the 23rd. Wear your ugliest holiday sweaters and sit back to enjoy a shamelessly cheery evening filled with holiday spirit. $30-40 cover charge. $70 premium seating. $25 food & beverage minimum.

THE WHITE CITY IN CONCERT , December 5 at 11:30PM:

Join Julia Gytri and Avi Amon for a friendship-filled evening exploring the music of The White City. Experience their vision of the majestic 1893 Chicago World's Fair and how H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer, exploits it for his own demented purposes. In this unique look into the making of the show, watch how first drafts evolved into the rich material that shone at the 2014 National Music Theatre Conference at The O'Neill Theatre Center, and take a sneak peek into what lies ahead for this powerhouse writing team.

GIOIA TO THE WORLD: MY HOLIDAY HELL, December 6 at 11:30PM:

Who proclaimed this the most wonderful time of the year? We know you're cold, stressed out and broke, so make your way out to 54 Below, where things heat up with glasses of spiked eggnog and a handful of bad-ass Broadway belters. From the team who brought you the sold-out sensation Bitching and Belting: An Evening with Michael Gioia and Friends, Gioia to the World promises to be an unforgettable night where no complaint is too small and no note is too high - holiday style. Join Michael Gioia (who hosted Playbill's Contemporary Musical Theatre Songwriters You Should Know LIVE! in January) and his Broadway faves for a set list of the sassiest songs, most dangerous duets and, of course, some holiday beer (err... cheer). The cold never bothered us anyway. Cast includes: Michael Gioia, Ariana Groover, Ariana DeBose, Lauren Renahan, Karen Agatep, Robin De Jesus, Tommy Bracco, Adam Kaplan, Tommy McDowell, Lilli Cooper, Julia Mattison and Jennifer Dilzell. $25 cover charge. $50 premium seating. $20 food & beverage minimum or two drinks.
