The Broadway at Birdland concert series is thrilled to present singer/songwriter Brian Gallagher in a concert celebrating the release of his new CD, "All That's Ahead." The one-night-only event will take place on Monday, April 27 at 7pm
Singer/songwriter Brian Gallagher recorded "All That's Ahead" in Los Angeles this past year. The recording is a collection of 11 original songs reflecting on the familiar theme of relationships at their most emotional moments; euphoric beginnings and ill-fated demises. It represents a musical collaboration between Gallagher and his wife, Megan Hilty, whose vocals are heavily featured on the record. Backed by a full band with an ever-evolving line-up of special guests, the concert will be a celebration of the album, and the friends, associates, and inspirations that made it possible.Click here for more information.
Marilyn Maye: Her Way, A Salute to Frank Sinatra
Where: 54 Below (254 W 54th Street)
When: April 27th, 28th, 30th at 7:00 PM
Tickets: $55-115 at http://54below.com/artist/marilyn-maye/
Back by overwhelming popular demand! Any evening with Marilyn Maye is a special event, but the particular magic of Her Way is its melding of two unique artists, one in spirit, the other in the flesh, into an evening in the theater that boasts not just one but two living legends. It doesn't get any better than this.
Of course, Marilyn Maye is an artist for connoisseurs and her powerhouse delivery and chatty rapport with the audience is what holds the evening together and electrifies the proceedings.
The aptly named production is an unabashed valentine to the late superstar, from the Super Singer that pays tribute to Sinatra's career with an immensely talented peer's interpretations of the songs that made Sinatra famous. It's a full-scale labor of love for another performer that is rarely seen from an artist of Maye's stature, and that is exactly what makes the show a must-see experience.

The Songs of Eli Bolin, Featuring Jennifer Damiano, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, and More
Where: 54 Below (254 W 54th Street)
When: May 1st at 9:30 PM
Tickets: $25-55 at http://54below.com/artist/the-songs-of-eli-bolin/
The songs of Eli Bolin - like the man himself - are sincere and direct, while possessing a ramshackle, goofy quality. His tuneful (always), heart-sick (occasionally), potty-mouth (when he just can't help it) jams make for a perfect party playlist. On May 1st, take a star-studded journey through Eli Bolin's songbook, including fan favorites from last fall's hit Off-Broadway musical Found and NYMF's 'Most Promising New Musical' Volleygirls, as well as works in progress and new material that's never been performed live. Don't be fooled by those sweet cheeks and floppy curls: this man and his work are to be taken seriously. Veeeerrrrrrryyyyy seriously. #BolinSchmolin
The Songs of Eli Bolin will be performed by Jennifer Damiano (Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark, Next to Normal), Adrienne Warren (Bring It On), Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Avenue Q), Kevin Del Aguila (Peter and the Starcatcher), Drew Gasparini (composer of Make Me Bad), Jed Resnick (Avenue Q), Jeremy Morse (Bloodsong of Love), Allison Posner (Volleygirls), Larry Hamilton (Captain Louie), Nicholas Barnes (Skippyjon Jones), L.R. Davidson, Annemarie Rosano, and Jackie Washam, accompanied by Mike Pettry on piano, Shannon Ford on drums, Brendan O'Grady on bass, and Freddy Hall on guitar. The evening is directed by Laura Pietropinto, produced by Erica Rotstein, and will feature music direction by Pettry.

The Broadway at Birdland concert series is proud to announce If/Then leading man James Snyder will be performing his one-man show, James Snyder: Prince Charming on the historic stage Sunday, May 3 at 6pm.

Singing a range of music from Sondheim to the Spin Doctors, with Prince Charming, you will experience the size and breadth of Broadway's newest leading man! After a busy career on TV, James Snyder made his Broadway debut in Cry-Baby, appeared in Rock of Ages in Los Angeles and played Billy Bigelow in Carousel at Goodspeed Opera House.
