Frances Ruffelle: LIVE(s) IN NEW YORK
April 30 at Green Room 42- BUY TICKETS!

How you know her: Les Miserables OBC

Tony Award winner Frances Ruffelle is back in town with her stunning solo performance: "Frances Ruffelle Live(S) in New York!" an intimate evening of song that whispers seductive secrets, lays bare the naked truth and explodes with the one of a kind bottle rocket charisma that's kept "Frankie's" ardent fans coming back for more since she created the iconic role of "Eponine" in "Les Miserables" and turned "On My Own" into one of Broadway's most beloved standards. "Frances Ruffelle Live(S) in New York!" is a wildly entertaining ride straight through the core of the most tender heart, fiery passion and loose comic confidence of a seasoned performer at the height of her game.

Nancy and Beth (feat. Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt)
May 1 - 5 at Cafe Carlyle- BUY TICKETS!

Nancy And Beth (featuring Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt) make their Café Carlyle debut! The self-described punk-showbiz band has been praised by NPR's All Things Considered as "musical misfits," and "as sharp as any revivalist act going today" by The Los Angeles Times. In a review of their self-titled debut release, Rolling Stone noted "It wouldn't be fair to call it a purely comedy album - it's too seriously musical and carefully curated for it to be that - but Nancy And Beth wisely doesn't try to disguise the comedic gifts of its creators. Instead, it shows the way Mullally and Hunt can be totally in sync to whip up a unique, coherent vision." At the Café, Megan Mullally (vocals, choreography) and Stephanie Hunt (vocals) will be joined by Datri Bean (keyboards, vocals), Joe Berardi (drums), Petra Haden (strings, vocals), Sophia Johnson (guitar, vocals) and Andrew Pressman (bass, vocals).

John Lloyd Young: My Turn!
May 1 - 5 at Feinstein's/54 Below- BUY TICKETS!

How you know him: Jersey Boys

John Lloyd Young, the multi-award winning Frankie Valli from Broadway's Jersey Boys, as well as the star of Clint Eastwood's movie adaptation, returns to Feinstein's/54 Below with a brand new show! The only American actor to date to have received a Lead Actor in a Musical Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Award for a Broadway debut, Young will be singing from his debut album for the first time in NYC.

By popular demand, the dynamic actress/songstress Megan Kane is back at Feinstein's/54 Below! After her sold out 2016 solo debut Megan Kane: It's About Time, Kane (Play Like A Winner, The Gay Bride of Frankenstein, Hairspray) is returning with a brand new show about her whirlwind life since you last saw her (getting married, bicoastal living, an unhealthy reality TV addiction, and auditioning for musicals in creepy mothball scented studios deep in the San Fernando Valley...) Megan has gathered some of Broadway and TV's biggest stars as special guests for a smorgasbord of songs and stories spanning across all genres. Once again featuring direction by Jim Brigman and music direction by Drew Wutke, Megan Kane: (Misc. ) will be a hilarious and heartfelt evening not to be missed! Megan will be joined on stage by Ben Rappaport (Fiddler on the Roof, "For the People"), Jessica Vosk(Wicked, Finding Neverland), and Krysta Rodriguez (NBC's "Smash," The Addams Family).

How you know him: Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark

Featuring selections from his 5-time Independent Music Award Winning album, Youth Is Wasted, as well a few surprises from the Broadway canon and the Great American Songbook, Reeve delivers a one-man-show cabaret that feels more like an invitation-only after-party than a traditional concert performance.
