Krysta Rodriguez, Lindsay Mendez and More Join Tim and Charlie's Farewell Tour at 54 Below Tonight

Tonight, April 28 at 9:30pm, Krysta Rodriguez (Smash, The Addams Family), Lindsay Mendez (Dogfight, 35mm: A Musical Exhibition), and Barbara Walsh (Company) will join bright new composer and lyricist team Tim Rosser and Charlie Sohne at 54 Below.

The evening, ironically titled Tim and Charlie's Farewell Tour (this is the pair's cabaret debut) will also include Jason Gotay (Bring It On), Robin De Jesus (In the Heights), Jay Armstrong Johnson (Hands on a Hardbody, 35mm: A Musical Exhibition), Derek Klena (Dogfight), Tony Sheldon (Priscilla Queen of The Desert), Taylor Trensch (Matilda), Danny Quadrino (Bye, Bye Birdie), and Josh Young (Jesus Christ Superstar), with more to be announced.

The evening will directed by Matthew Dicarlo and will be music directed by Rosser. It's produced by composer- lyricist Ryan Scott Oliver and Very Intense Productions.

54 Below describes the evening thusly: "How many evenings can be spent in the company of a family of evangelical creationists (The Profit of Creation), dancing boys in Afghanistan (The Boy Who Danced On Air), opinionated if slightly confused teenagers (Political Speeches By Young People), and robotic tin soldiers (Third Time's A Charm)? The work of songwriters Tim Rosser and Charlie Sohne is far-ranging, but united by a unique blend of sincerity, sensitivity, thoughtfulness, and humor. Come hear Broadway's finest perform a set that will make you laugh, cry, order a martini, and then chase it with bourbon."
