FORBIDDEN at 54 Below

Serina Marshall is proud to bring her bold, genre-defying celebration of storytelling, music, and film to 54 Below! Directed and produced by Marshall, FORBIDDEN is an immersive, cinematic concert experience that blurs the lines between page, stage, and screen.

Built around the original song “FORBIDDEN” and its accompanying music video – based on the novel THE 412 LOUNGE by S. S. Marshall – this event invites audiences into a world of passion, tension, and unspoken truths. Moody, evocative, and deeply atmospheric, the evening captures the allure of late-night conversations, hidden desires, and the moments that change everything.

Featuring original music, live storytelling, and an exclusive screening of the “FORBIDDEN” music video, this experience offers a rare glimpse into the creative evolution of a story, transforming from novel to song to fully realized visual narrative. Marshall’s work, influenced by her ties to composer Kim Scharnberg (The Great Gatsby) and her background as a BroadwayWorld Award-nominated artist, brings a theatrical and emotionally charged depth to the stage.

FORBIDDEN is more than a performance. It’s an intimate journey into the heart of independent artistry, where music and story collide in a way that is both haunting and unforgettable. Join us for an evening that is as seductive as it is soulful; it’s an experience New York creatives and audiences alike won’t want to miss.
