I Wish: The Roles That Could Have Been - is more than just a chance for an audience to bear witness to actors' dreams manifesting.

L Morgan Lee: Find Me on the Rooftop - July 7 & 14 at 9:45 PM

When the world shut down, Obie Award winner, L Morgan Lee looked up. From the roof of her uptown apartment, far above the noise of the city, she found her own little corner to dream, vent, and breathe...without a mask. Up there, she was able to glimpse into the lives of people on the ground (and occasionally in other buildings) - but most importantly, it was there that she was able to reflect on her own life. Her dreams. Her reality. The what ifs. Lee's Feinstein's/54 Below debut, Find Me On the Rooftop fuses that self-reflection with wit, honesty, and more than a little bit of fun. The show intertwines Broadway classics, gems by new writers, and unexpected deep-cuts with everything from stories of dating, longing for motherhood, and discovering that it's ok to fly...

L Morgan Lee (she/her) is an Obie award-winning actress and theatre maker most known for her performance in the Pulitzer Prize winning musical, A Strange Loop which garnered her a Lucille Lortel nomination and the distinction of being the first openly transgender actress to originate a role in a Pulitzer Prize winning piece of theatre. L Morgan was recently cast to play artist Lili Elbe in a musical adaptation of the novel, The Danish Girl being workshopped in the UK. She is also developing a new play entitled, The Women (2021) which was seen in Ars Nova's 2021 Vision Residency.

Vocalist John Minnock returns to Feinstein's/54 Below for a high energy jazz-infused show, celebrating release of his 2020 album, Herring Cove. With him is special guest, NEA Jazz Master and Grammy-nominee saxophonist, Dave Liebman. Mr. Minnock performs material remaining faithful to and drawing from his background as a gay man and the LGBTQ community. This includes original songs, re-imagined standards, and a new song written for the album by music industry legend, David Shire. Mr. Minnock is the recipient of the 2019 HotHouse/Jazzmobile NYC Readers Best Male Vocalist award.

"Minnock is a leader with an empowered vision...sympathetic emotions we all feel, everyone, though especially the gay men who will find their own stories here. Particularly special to the success of Herring Cove is the contribution of Academy Award winner David Shire, providing two songs for Minnock, who skillfully embodies the Maestro's mood. Minnock's performance is articulate and emotionally in contact with Mr. Shire's artistry." - Stephen Mosher, BroadwayWorld

Tom McGovern - August 10 at 9:45 PM

Musical comedian Tom McGovern (The Office: A Musical Parody) has played in cover bands and piano bars in NYC since 2016. When the shutdown put an end to live shows, Tom turned to writing/selling "Jingles" - personalized little songs meant to boost people's moods during quarantine. A little less than a year later, Jingle-writing led him to a feature on "American Idol." Life is weird.

Join Tom (and a band full of musicians he claims are more talented than he is) for an evening of catchy hooks and utter nonsense. If you've ever faked a phone call to avoid someone in public; if you've ever wondered why we never actually see baby pigeons; if you question why people make their dogs wear costumes on Halloween, you're gonna have a good time. If none of that appeals to you, you're still gonna have a good time.

They've spent the past year beating back the existential dread with a stick, and arrive post-vaccination with a survival guide through the terrors of the social internet, impending climate apocalypse, and willful cisgender ignorance. If you are looking for a respite from the bottle horror movie that was 2020--this is not it. However, if you hunger for honest reflections on trans identity pulled through the medium of musical theatre, then come and explore the wreckage of our collective future at The Smith Twins are Terminally Online.
