Celebrating Songs of the 1930s

Benjamin Eakeley and his jazz band are back!

Featuring songs by Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Sammy Fein, and more, Broadway Swinger, Vol. 2 takes a page from Benny Goodman's orchestra and will have you "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)!"

Benjamin Eakeley has appeared on Broadway in the revivals of She Loves Me, Cabaret, On a Clear Day, You Can See Forever, and Sweeney Todd. He made his cabaret debut in 2016 with sold-out performances of Broadway Swinger at Feinstein's/54 Below. For his work on Broadway Swinger, Cabaret Scenes likened him to a "seasoned cabaret star" and BroadwayWorld praised his "bewitching stage presence" with "decidedly sensual power and lush jazz vocals."

Jillian Louis, AUGUST 17 AT 9:30PM

From producer/director Scott Siegel:

You don't know Jillian Louis, but you should. Seriously, you really should. There are a rare number of performers with the gift to make you laugh and cry (at the same time). And like the most memorable of musical theater stars, she does not fit a category; she transcends categories. Charm. Allure. And a quirky, unique talent that is off the charts. Yes, you should know Jillian Louis. And in this brand new show at Feinstein's/54 Below, all shall be revealed in dramatic fashion. And in comic style. You don't know Jillian Louis, but soon you will...

Here's what we do know about her, though: she's a multi-award winning musical theater star who made her Broadway debut in the David Hyde Pierce directed It Shoulda Been You.

Please come join us for this evening of beloved songs exploring how we may not know each other but are already connected via all the things we share: heartbreak, anger, love, humor. You Don't Know Me, except that you really do, as we're all not so different.

Jillian Louis: You Don't Know Me will be produced and directed by NYC impresario Scott Siegel, who has produced, written, and directed shows for Michael Feinstein and is, perhaps, best known as the creator/writer/director/host of Town Hall's signature series Broadway by the Year. He happily continues his long association with the great Jillian Louis.
