Succession's David Rasche to Make Feinstein's/54 Below Debut
FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents David Rasche in Half an Evening with David Rasche.
A delightful evening of painful memories and personal insults that are tied together with a collection of original songs that he originally wrote himself and were written by him, originally. Some of these songs have never before been sung in public, perhaps for good reason. Some are love songs, some comedic, some are bittersweet, some just bitter. He is not above a cheap joke, and nothing is beneath him. Songs will include the bossa nova favorite "Sand Up in My Crack," the hypnotic jazz/waltz "I Wish I Was Married to Your Wife," the historic actor/prison/chain gang song "Never Going to Work Again," and not many more. The songs are musical, and short enough to accommodate the most limited attention span. This show will be just long enough that exactly when you are thinking, "It's time to go," the last song will be finishing and your coat will be waiting for you at the door. "Thank God, David Rasche is finally doing a show," someone might have said, sometime, maybe. It's a performance you will be happy to have seen.
Mr. Rasche will be accompanied by Isaac Harlan on piano and a fantastic band.
David Rasche in Half an Evening with David Rasche plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) Wednesday, December 4 at 7pm. There is a $45-$65 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum.
