Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, presents the incomparable current staff of Joe Allen restaurant in The Ones That Got Away: A Joe Allen Tribute on Monday, February 3. In May, 1965, Joe Allen opened the restaurant that bears his name. That same year, the cast of the ill-fated show Kelly gave Joe a poster of their show. It ran one performance, and they thought it should hang, well, somewhere. Since then, it's become a Broadway tradition for those unlucky flops to adorn the restaurant's walls. Directed and produced by Nick Flatto, The Ones That Got Away is a Valentine's Day tribute to those forgotten flops as we remember the lost love songs of Broadway's past.
