Tony Yazbeck to Bring THE FLOOR ABOVE ME to 54 Below in March
54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents the acclaimed star of this season's On the Town revival. Perennial song and dance man Tony Yazbeck heats up the stage with the return of his 54 Below tour de force performance in The Floor Above Me, a thrilling evening of tenor melodies and tenacious tap dancing!
The beloved Broadway vet-Gypsy (Tulsa), Little Me at Encores!, Chicago (Billy Flynn), Irving Berlin's White Christmas (Phil Davis), A Chorus Line (Al), Oklahoma!, Never Gonna Dance and NBC's "Smash"-will be joined by fellow Broadway hoofer and On The Town co-star Clyde Alves and tap dance sensation Melinda Sullivan ("So You Think You Can Dance", "Glee").
In this not-to-be-missed evening, with tunes spanning from MGM to Coldplay, Tony will weave tales from his first Broadway gig at age 11 (as a Newsboy in Tyne Daly's Gypsy) to his recent turn as Tulsa in the Patti LuPone revival, as well as share anecdotes from the professional and personal journey that has established him as a stalwart New York song and dance man.
According to Theatremania, "In the words of legendary tap dancer Maurice Hines, 'Class is like pornography. You know it when you see it.' Tony Yazbeck brings this elusive essence of old-timey Broadway class to his 54 Below debut, representing a dying breed of showmen that keeps the word debonair from falling into complete extinction."
Musical direction and arrangements by Jerome Korman. Co-written and co-directed by Howard Emanuel & Tony Yazbeck.
