Photos: DAVID JACKSON's 54 Below Solo Show Debut In A Helane Blumfield Photo Essay

Broadway veteran David Jackson (four shows!) had his 54 Below solo show debut this week, after appearing in group concerts and cabarets in the Tony Award winning club over the years. The singing and dancing actor who appeared in Grand Hotel, La Cage Aux Folles, My One And Only and Eubie! invited his fellow Grand Hotel alum David White to join him for some of the festivities, but that was planned by David and his creative team. What wasn't previously arranged and surprised everyone in the theater was a sudden trip to the stage of beloved star Sandy Duncan, with whom Mr. Jackson has a close friendship and special memories. Jackson coaxed Ms. Duncan out of her seat into the audience and onto the 54 Below stage for a brief and sweet turn around the floor as musical director Michael Lavine used his famous and nimble fingers to provide the melody. According to Broadway World Cabaret photographic correspondent, it was a most special and personal moment to which the audience responded with smiles, laughter and sighs.

Broadway World Cabaret invites our readers to enjoy Helane's photo essay below and we extend our most heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Jackson for a successful solo show debut (with a full house, hello!) and we look forward to the next one.
