Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club presents The Legend of New York, a new musical from the Drama Desk-nominated and Larson Award-winning team of Joshua Salzman and Ryan Cunningham (I Love You Because, Next Thing You Know) in concert performance on Monday, April 18 at 7:00pm and 9:30pm.

The concert stars Tony nominee Santino Fontana (Frozen, Cinderella, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Laura Osnes (The Bandstand, Cinderella, Bonnie & Clyde), Angela Grovey (Newsies), J. Bernard Calloway (Memphis), and F. Michael Haynie (Wicked), all backed up by the 8-piece band The New York Funk-Harmonic. The concert is music directed by Kurt Crowley (Hamilton) and directed by John Simpkins.

The Legend of New York is a Sodom and Gomorrah story set during the 1977 New York City blackout. An angel appears to a NYC cop and sends him on a quest to find three souls worth saving by sunrise or else the city will be destroyed. This musical comedy myth celebrates 70s New York in all its grungy glory-taking you from Central Park to Times Square to CBGBs to, of course, the legendary Studio 54.

Drama critic David Hurst said of the writing team, "Salzman and Cunningham write melodies that soar into the stratosphere with a voice that is undeniably distinctive, yet technically accomplished. They are the musical theater voice of their generation."

The Legend of New York plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on Monday, April 18 at 7:00pm and 9:30pm. There is a $30-$65 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum.
