How many of these great songs do you know from underappreciated musicals?

Anything Goes. Oklahoma. Follies. La Cage Aux Folles. Those four musicals, plus many others, all got their start at Boston's important Colonial Theatre. Now, as the Colonial is in danger of shutting it doors, Feinstein's/54 Below celebrated the famed venue with an evening of songs and stories last night and BroadwayWorld was there.

Jay Armstrong Johnson has wowed Broadway audiences inOn The Town (Chip), Hands on a Hardbody (Greg), Hair (Claude), and Catch Me If You Can. The New York Timescalled his performance as Anthony Hope in the New York Philharmonic's Sweeney Todd 'affecting and ardent,' and his performance as Herman in Encores' Most Happy Fella 'a standout.'

35mm is ultimately about relationships-those made unavoidable through providence of family or career; or relationships with those who provide protection, haven, and inspiration. It's about the people we want, the people we can't have, and about accepting the hopelessness of a flatlining love affair. It's about the people we lose, and the relationship we have with their ghosts.

Broadway stages, concert halls, network TV... Jay Armstrong Johnson has conquered them all, and he's about to add even more to his list of accomplishments.
