The Feinstein’s/54 Below nightclub will see more stars June 5 than at any time since its heyday as the fabled disco Studio 54.
The space will celebrate its fifth anniversary as a theatre-oriented nightclub with a guest list drawn from a new generation of Broadway royalty, including Laura Benanti, Charles Busch, Liz Callaway, Alice Ripley, Marin Mazzie, Jason Danieley, Marilyn Maye, Seth Sikes, and the club’s co-owner, pianist Michael Feinstein.
The club’s 5th Anniversary All-Star Celebration! will also see several performing groups including Joe Iconis and Family; Sondheim Unplugged with Phil Geoffrey Bond and Sally Mayes; The Broadway Princess Party featuring Laura Osnes, Christy Altomare, Taylor Louderman, and Benjamin Rauhala; and others guests, to be announced. The performer list is subject to change.
In the years since its June 2012 opening, Feinstein’s/54 Below has presented more than 4,000 shows in a wide array of programming and musical styles. The celebration will be produced by Jennifer Ashley Tepper and Robert W. Schneider, with musical direction by Tedd Firth.
Tickets cost $100–$175. Executive Chef Lynn Bound is promising a special three-course prix fixe dinner for the occasion, costing $75 per person for the 7 PM performance. Guests at the 9:30 PM performance may choose from the seasonal menu or the special $75 prix fixe dinner. The 9:30 PM performance will have a $45 food/beverage minimum. Order tickets here.
A portion of the proceeds from the evening will be donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
