John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The Fab Four. The most famous musical singing group the world has ever known. They didn't just define a generation, they were an epoch all by themselves. Their music might have been born in the 1960s but it continues to be an essential part of our culture today. At Feinstein's/54 Below, we will celebrate their greatest hits, with today's greatest Broadway and nightclub stars singing their iconic songs. From "I Want to Hold Your Hand," to "All My Loving," and from "Yesterday" to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - and from "Can't Buy Me Love," to "Norwegian Wood," Eleanor Rigby," Nowhere Man," "We Can Work It Out," and so many more incredible top ten hits. This isn't just nostalgia, it's music written with elegance and beauty, and lyrics written with keen understanding, wit, and style. They were The Beatles. Hear their music live, in concert, once again. For one night only, 54 Sings The Beatles!

How You Know Him: Legally Blonde, Groundhog Day, On the Twentieth Century
She has a "powerhouse voice" (The New York Times). He is "a theater world heartthrob" (The New York Times). And together Orfeh and Andy Karl have had an impressively long run as one of Broadway's best couples. Although they met while doing the Broadway production of Saturday Night Fever, their irrepressible chemistry became the stuff of legend when they co-starred in Legally Blonde, which garnered Orfeh a Tony nomination. Karl earned his own Tony nods for Rocky, On the Twentieth Century, and Groundhog Day (for which he received an Olivier Award). Before Orfeh leaves to star in Pretty Woman the Musical, Broadway's power couple celebrates the release of their new album with a return engagement of their hit show Legally Bound. The sexy, funny, and enormously talented duo tear through an eclectic mix of pop, rock, rhythm and blues, and show tunes that is sure to excite and delight! Orfeh and Andy will be joined by musical director Steven Jamail and their band for an unforgettable evening of chart-toppers, show-stoppers, and high belting. Directed by Charles Randolph-Wright.
