Len Cariou, Leslie Uggams, Samia Najimy-Finnerty, Bob Stillman, and Laura Osnes gave a special press preview from some of the upcoming engagements at 54 Below earlier today. BroadwayWorld brings you full coverage below!

On Monday night, Jim Caruso's Cast Party was a hotbed of activity, and not just because of the summer temperature! The jam-packed house was thrilled to celebrate the cast of Closer Than Ever, the Matlby-Shire musical review starring Jenn Colella, Christiane Noll, Sal Viviano and George Dvorskey, accompanied by Andrew Gerle. A few lucky (and knowledgeable) audience members even won tickets to the show.

BroadwayWorld has seen and covered many concerts over the years, but never have we witnessed anything like what we saw on stage at City Center on Saturday night, June 2nd.
