For more information on "The Callback" rules or how to submit an audition video, visit www.54Below.com. No cover charge. $20 food & beverage minimum.

LATE NIGHT: BACKSTAGE, Apr. 9 at 10:30PM:
Each week, Broadway cast members and audiences alike gather to mix and mingle at 54 Below, Broadway's most intimate haunt, located in the heart of the theatre district. Musical Director Brad Simmons keeps the house jumping from the piano, while host Susie Mosher (the love child of Joanne Worley & Paul Lynde) guides the crowd through an evening of music, mayhem and full throttle belting, while special guests from Broadway and beyond drop in to perform.

At this week's Backstage is Carson Kressley (Emmy-winning television star, celebrity stylist, author and fashion designer), Christine Pedi (NEWSical, Forbidden Broadway, Sirius XM), Anya Marina (recording artist), Michael Winther (from Broadway's 33 Variations, The Crucible, Mamma Mia), Will Taylor (from Broadway's Chorus Line, La Cage Aux Folles), Michael West (NEWSical, When Pigs Fly), and Melissa vanpelt (Hairspray). No cover charge. $20 food & beverage minimum.

LATE NIGHT: THE STUDIO, Apr. 10 at 11PM:
On Wednesdays, The Studio will be the place to see up-and-coming New York talent: comedians, musicians, songwriters, improv groups- just to name a few. Each week will feature a different new New York artist, so visit our calendar to see what this Wednesday has in store for you. No cover charge. Drink Specials: $5 beers and $8 mixed drinks.

"Midnight is the Real Happy Hour" will feature $5 beers, $8 specialty cocktails and well drinks, and new late night menu items every Monday through Thursday from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM.

54 BELOW, Broadway's nightclub, is the new performance venue in the grand tradition of New York City nightlife. A few blocks from the heart of Times Square and just below the legendary Studio 54, 54 BELOW is a classically designed state-of-the art nightclub in the theatre district that hosts audiences with warmth and style.

Designed by Tony Award winner John Lee Beatty and architect Richard Lewis, lit by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, and with sound by Tony Award nominee Peter Hylenski, 54 BELOW features an in-your-living-room intimate relationship between its performers and audiences. Tony Award winner Scott Wittman serves as Creative Consultant and MAC Award Winner Phil Geoffrey Bond serves as Director of Programming. André J. Marrero is the Executive Chef of the new venue, which provides a food and beverage menu from early evening through the wee hours of the morning that is worthy of the world-class entertainment on the stage. Bringing together his love of the arts with his passion for cooking and hospitality, Chef André has created a market driven contemporary bistro menu that includes ingredients sourced from all over the world.

54 BELOW is owned and operated by Tony Award winning producers Tom Viertel, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, and Steven Baruch. 54 BELOW features up to three shows nightly and has audio and video recording capabilities. The cover charge ranges from $15-$115.

54 BELOW is located at 254 West 54th Street. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com.
