THE BURN BOOK CABARET to Make Debut at 54 Below
Rebecca May Ristow produces the cabaret at the Manhattan nightclub.
54 Below will present The Burn Book Cabaret on November 13th at 9:30pm. The Burn Book Cabaret is a celebration of musical theatre's meanest moments, starring Broadway veterans and rising stars alike. From Mean Girls to Heathers, Audrey II to Amber Von Tussle, these are the characters that say the quiet part loud.
Whether you're here for the gleeful chaos of 'Candy Store,' or the fiery unraveling of 'World Burn,' 54 Below welcomes those who agree that the villain is the most fun role to play. Expect sharp wit, spectacular vocals, and at least one number that will make you feel a little guilty for cheering. You won't want to miss this night of Broadway havoc. Directed and produced by Rebecca May Ristow, tonight you can sit with us.
The cabaret will feature performances from Aaron Alcaraz (Back to the Future, Here Lies Love, Mean Girls Broadway), Paige Smallwood (Bad Cinderella, Cabaret Broadway), Faith Northcutt (Mamma Mia! Broadway, national tour), Jason Eric Testa (Elf Broadway, The Addams Family national tour), Caroline Portner (Hairspray national tour), and David Socolar (Company national tour). The ensemble will be filled out by a group of New York City's rising stars.
