Tovah Feldshuh is Leona in THE QUEEN OF MEAN Image

Tovah Feldshuh six time Tony and Emmy nominated star of "The Walking Dead," "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," and now CBS' "Salvation" returns to Feinstein's/54 Below in a all new show featuring highlights from the Broadway-bound musical Queen of Mean, based on the New York Timesbest-seller biography by Ransdell Pierson. Tovah as Leona sings and stings about everything from her meteoric rise from office temp to Queen of the Palace, to her Real Estate rival Donald Trump. Tovah's Leona is proud to be below Studio 54 whose owners ALSO served time for the crime of tax evasion.

So Harry on Down for an evening of fun, frolic, and foreclosure!
