Photo Flash: Inside I WISH:The Roles That Could Have Been At 54 Below

Last Sunday, June 2nd, I WISH: The Roles That Could Have Been, premiered at Feinstein's/54 Below!

Everyone has dreams that we fear will pass us by. For actors those come in the shape and form of roles-whether they're grown up and become too old for that child star turn, to the soprano never being considered for the baritone lead, everyone has a song in their heart that they'll likely never get to see come to fruition with a crowd and in lights.

From the crazy amazing mind of Alexandra Silber is, I Wish: The Roles That Could Have Been. The evening gave performers a chance to embody their "roles come true". The concert boasted some of Broadway's favorite performers for a night of surprise, in ways one would never imagine. I WISH will be back at 54 Below in October and February! Stay tuned to see what other Broadway fav! es pop up at this special concert event next!

The evening was produced by Jen Sandler and music directed by Brian J. Nash.
