Backed by his electrifying New York band, led by Ron Abel on piano.
For his performance as Valli, Mr. Young won the Lead Actor Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards, becoming the only American actor in history to win all four leading actor awards for a Broadway debut. He sings lead vocals on the Platinum, Grammy Award-winning Jersey Boys original cast recording. Young re-created his Broadway turn onscreen for director Clint Eastwood in Warner Bros.’ film adaptation of Jersey Boys.
Young’s interpretations of classic favorites and genre-bending knockouts range from nostalgic pop and R&B to jazz, Broadway, and beyond. His five-star-rated solo album of R&B standards is My Turn… (2014).
Mr. Young is a former presidentially-appointed Member of Barack Obama’s President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

Enter 54 Below for a dark and whimsical night of music from the strange and spectacular mind that is Tim Burton.

Phillip Officer SALUTES Mabel Mercer: YOU FASCINATE ME SO, FEAT. KT Sullivan! – OCTOBER 24 AT 9:30PM
No understanding of the American popular song is complete without the knowledge of the legendary Mabel Mercer and her influence on lyric interpretation. Her perfect diction and honest approach to lyrics attracted many of America’s rising singers to emulate her style: Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett, Bobby Short, Peggy Lee, and Nat King Cole. What they learned from Mercer transformed American culture. Tin Pan Alley was expanding its trunk of tunesmiths to include Broadway’s brightest composing stars: Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein, Cy Coleman & Carolyn Leigh. The chic supper clubs and smokey saloons were a perfect playground for the intimate art of cabaret. Phillip Officer has always had the ability to make one feel that he’s singing a particular song only to you. That is the magic of Phillip Officer — a wizard of musical words. Now, he brings his hit Mabel Mercer show, You Fascinate Me So, to 54 Below!
Music direction by Mark Hartman.
Featuring special guest KT Sullivan.
Also joined by Mark Hartman on piano, Ray Marchica on drums, Mollie Rose on violin, and Saadi Zain on bass.
