Amanda Jane Cooper
April 7 at Feinstein's/54 Below - BUY TICKETS

Amanda Jane Cooper is tickled pink to make her Feinstein's/54 Below debut, having just starred as Glinda in Wicked on Broadway - and as the show's 15th Anniversary Glinda, joining Kristin Chenoweth on NBC's "A Very Wicked Halloween." Taking her final bow at the Gershwin on December 9th, 2018 exactly three years after making her re-debut on tour, she is now one of Wicked's longest running Glinda's. In a night of story and song, you'll get to know Cooper's heart and humor, and hear everything from musical theatre and pop to folk and R&B and maybe even an original or two. Special guest Jessica Vosk (Wicked, Fiddler on the Roof) will join Amanda for her April 7 performance.

Katie Ladner

Broadway funny lady, Katie Ladner, brings her unique brand of humor and distinct lack of elegance to Feinstein's/54 Below in her solo show debut. Currently in the Broadway Company of Wicked, she has also appeared in the recent revival of Sunset Boulevard, Heathers the Musical, and the original company of Be More Chill. With songs ranging from the irreverent to the poignant, Ms Ladner is not afraid to take a risk... and fall on her face. Literally. If you miss it you'll live, but if you make it, you'll die laughing! Katie will be joined by special guests Jeff Heimbrock (Wicked, Book of Mormon, Newsies) and Ryan McCartan (Wicked, Heathers).
