After selling out his five previous appearances Seth Sikes, of whom NY Arts Review said, "may well be one of the saviors of the Great American Songbook" will return to FEINSTEIN'S/54BELOW on Tuesday, November 24th at 9:30PM (EST) to perform his critically-acclaimed show "Seth Sikes Sings Mostly Judy Garland," an evening of Garland's most popular songs with several new arrangements.

He will also perform at Feinstein's/54 Below on Friday, January 24 at 9:30 PM and Friday, March 18 at 9:30 PM.

Following his most recent appearance Stage Buddy said, "Sikes's voice is phenomenal of course, but what sticks with you and makes his performance more effective is the intensity of the emotions behind the interpretations. Mostly Judy Garland was the kind of cabaret show in which the performer is able to come across as clearly as the subject he's paying homage to. Mr. Sikes established himself as a unique talent all his own, without taking away from Judy's influence in his work and life. It was a love song to a true icon, and the arrival of a promising new talent."

Liz Smith recently said, "I told you recently about a young man, Seth Sikes, who has appeared at the NYC nightspot 54 Below, singing the songs of Judy Garland. I went off to see him last week and couldn't have been more charmed. He's young and handsome and enthusiastic. He doesn't try to duplicate her sound. Sikes has boundless energy and a true, strong voice, with just the right amount of throb and drive and melancholy. The place was packed."

Rex Reed said in the New York Observer, "Sikes belted out small gems and big treasures alike to a sold-out house screaming for more." Reed went on to say, "He's already developing a fan base of Judy addicts and there's no telling how far Seth Sikes will go."

Best known in the theater as an Assistant Director (on shows like The Nance, Tribes, and Pageant), Sikes will perform with a seven-piece band to recount how Garland captivated him as a young boy in Paris, Texas, and to sing some of Garland's greatest hits.

The evening was conceived by Seth Sikes and Tony-Award winning Lyricist Lisa Lambert, and will feature Music Direction by Gary Adler and orchestrations by Matt Aument. The evening is directed by Eric Gilliland.
