54 Below will host a lineup of performers including Britani Bateman with Lagoona Bloo, Claybourne Elder, Charles Busch, Ute Lemper, Linda Eder, Orfeh, and Jeanna de Waal, alongside a Frank Sinatra tribute concert and other cabaret acts.

Musicals at Richter, Connecticut's longest-running outdoor theater, will present the Tony Award-winning musical 1776 to kick off its 42nd season at the Richter Arts Center in Danbury.
