FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Broadway Bods, New York City’s first Fat Positive Non Profit Theatre Company, makes their 54 Below DEBUT With The Best of the Worst.

To celebrate their upcoming 5 year anniversary, Broadway Bods will be bringing marginalized performers to the mainstage of 54 Below! Directed by Henry Dougherty and produced by Broadway Bods, The Best of the Worse is a celebration of fantastic music that comes to us from Broadway’s biggest flops.  Join us for an evening of deep cuts, big belts, and affirming our mission of uplifting the underdogs.  If you’re tired of hearing the same selections from the “Do Not Sing List,” this cabaret is for you!

Broadway Bods, INC is a 501(c)(3) theater nonprofit focused on size inclusivity, body diversity, and fat positivity in the performing arts.  Since 2021, they have mounted comedy shows, cabarets and fully staged productions in venues around the city, including You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown at the 14th street YMCA in April 2024, monthly musical theatre trivia nights and performance at The Rat since 2024, and two world premiere pieces, Query, at Theatre for a New City in March 2025, and Rascals, at The Tank on July 2025.

Tickets for The Best of the Worst are on sale now. Tickets are available by visiting broadwaybods.com/links or the 54 Below website, with prices starting at $29.50. This one-night performance will be on Sunday, February 15th, 2026, at 9:00 PM.  Please note that 54 Below requires a $25 food-and-beverage minimum in addition to the original ticket price.  Additionally, there will be a livestream option, in addition to in-person tickets, available.

54 Below is a Broadway-themed supper club that aims to expose audiences to an intimate evening with their favorite established and up-and-coming stars. They are the recipient of the 2022 Tony Award for “Honor of Excellence in The Theatre”.
