By:

Tonight, September 30th, Tony and Grammy Award winning performer Leslie Odom, Jr. will kick off LIVE! from the Rainbow Room, a series of intimate, live performances inside one of New York's most glamourous and iconic settings. Set 65 stories above the landmark Rockefeller Center with panoramic views in every direction, Odom, Jr. will host a one-night only performance for 250 guests.

"We are thrilled that a talent like Leslie will be kicking off the new LIVE! from the Rainbow Room concert series which will offer our guests the opportunity to experience one of today's great voices in a stunningly intimate setting," said Nick Mautone, Managing Director, Rainbow Room. "Since opening in 1934, Rainbow Room has been famous for hosting legendary performers. The LIVE! from the Rainbow Room series is a way for us to celebrate the future while paying homage to Rainbow Room's storied past."

Multifaceted performer Leslie Odom, Jr. recently completed his run on Broadway starring as 'Aaron Burr' in the original cast of the blockbuster hit musical, "Hamilton," a role that earned him the 2016 Tony Award for Lead Actor in a Musical. He is a Grammy Award-winner as a principal soloist on Hamilton's Original Broadway Cast Recording, which won the 2015 Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Leslie's debut solo album, "Leslie Odom, Jr.," was released in June 2016 on S-Curve Records and quickly rose to the top of the Billboard and iTunes Jazz charts.

Tickets will be $250 per person with a $100 per person food and beverage minimum. Executive Chef Robert Aikens will offer an elegant grazing menu to satisfy every craving. Tickets are available at bit.ly/2bbnmBD. Cocktail Attire, Jackets Required.

Quintessential New York glamour finds its home 65 stories above the landmark Rockefeller Center. Crowning the timeless Manhattan skyline, the iconic Rainbow Room offers a modern twist on classic old-world charm, tailoring special moments for private events, Sunday Brunch and unforgettable evenings of live entertainment. Since its debut in 1934, the Rainbow Room has drawn the world's elite to its curated, elevated and glamorous luxury. First operating as a formal supper club, the venue quickly became a New York City entertainment focal point. Rainbow Room's name was inspired by the installation of a color organ that automatically converted music into changing colors in harmony with the moods expressed by the music. Crystal curtains were added to the newly restored Rainbow Room to create a light shimmering veil at the windows without hindering the view. In 2012, the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission declared Rainbow Room a New York City Landmark. Rainbow Room is one of very few interior landmarks found in New York City.
