Laurence O'Keefe to Drop By for After Party, August 4

The Laurie Beechman Theatre, located within The West Bank Café (407 West 42nd St.), will continue The After Party, billed as "an informal social gathering for the theatrically inclined."

Every Friday from 10:30pm till 2am, musical theatre fans may join hosts Brandon Cuttrell (MAC & Bistro Award winner) and Alysha Umphress (XL Star), as well as Ray Fellman (Captain Louie) at the piano and Sarajean Devenport behind the bar, for the weekly party in the theatre district. There is no cover charge and no minimum. "Come and sing yourself as the mic is always open, or sit back and enjoy a cocktail with friends. Located just blocks from the Great White Way, you never know who might drop in," state press notes.

On Friday, August 4th, After Party will welcome special guest, Larry O'Keefe, composer of the critically acclaimed musicals Bat Boy and Sarah, Plain and Tall. He will be on hand to showcase a few numbers, "perhaps even one or two from his highly anticipated Broadway-bound musical, Legally Blonde."

The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located downstairs, within The West Bank Café, 407 West 42nd St at 9th Avenue. There is a full bar and bar menu available, and reservations are not necessary for the event.  Visit www.westbankcafe.com for more information.
