Leaves: Songs of Walt Whitman for Pride Month, starring Claybourne Elder & More! at Feinstein's/54 Below

“I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume, for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.”

In celebration of Pride Month, Leaves: Songs of Walt Whitman celebrates gay icon Walt Whitman who, 160 years ago in New York City, turned the literary world upside down with his daring and affirming poems and left a legacy for LGBTQ people to find their history. Rodney Bush and Eric Rosen have created a cycle of songs that explore the joy, complexity, romance, and pleasure of being gay in 1855 and now. 

Think Leaves of Grass, but with a folk/rock vibe and a chance to hang out with some of the hottest out actors on Broadway. A night of raucous fun, new music, and some of the greatest words ever written, Leaves is definitely more of a party than an English class, which honors the spirit of gay New York and its most famous chronicler. 

Featuring the talents of Claybourne Elder (Company, HBO's "The Gilded Age"), Bradley Gibson (The Lion King, A Bronx Tale, Lauren Patten (Jagged Little Pill), John Michael Lyles (A Strange Loop), and many more!
