Serina Marshall Will Make Solo Debut With FORBIDDEN at 54 Below
The genre-defying show blends original music, live storytelling, and a screening of Marshall's FORBIDDEN music video.
54 Below will present FORBIDDEN, by Serina Marshall on Thursday, August 6 at 9:30pm. FORBIDDEN is an immersive, cinematic concert event that blurs the lines between page, stage, and screen. Directed and produced entirely by Marshall, the show is built around her original song “FORBIDDEN” and its accompanying music video, inspired by her novel, The 412 Lounge.
Moody, evocative, and deeply atmospheric, the performance invites audiences into a world of late-night conversations, hidden desires, and unspoken truths. Through original music, live storytelling, and an exclusive screening of the “FORBIDDEN” music video, Marshall offers a rare look at the evolution of a story - transforming from novel to song to fully realized visual narrative.
Influenced by her connection to composer Kim Scharnberg (The Great Gatsby) and her recognition as a BroadwayWorld Award-nominated artist, Marshall delivers a performance that is both emotionally charged and theatrically rich.
“FORBIDDEN is more than a performance - it's an experience,” says Marshall. “It's about pushing boundaries, telling stories that live between the lines, and proving that independent artistry belongs on major stages.”
Rising independent artist Serina Marshall makes her highly anticipated New York City debut with FORBIDDEN, an original, self-produced immersive experience at 54 Below, Broadway's premier supper club. With no prior NYC credits, Marshall's debut marks a rare and remarkable breakthrough - bringing a fully self-created, written, directed, and performed production to one of the most prestigious stages in the city.
FORBIDDEN by Serina Marshall plays 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on Thursday, August 6 at 9:30pm. Cover charges are $19.50 (includes $4.50 in fees) - $41.50 (includes $6.50 in fees.)
