The Broadway Sings concert series comes to 54 Below for its first "Best Of Broadway Sings" concert, which will feature showstoppers from the series' previous seven concerts. Some of Broadway's brightest, current talents will sing completely new arrangements of the hits of seven pop superstars: Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake, and P!NK. Over 15 Broadway performers will be accompanied by an 8-piece jazz band playing unique, original orchestrations created for the acclaimed series.

Perfomers include Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), Russell Fischer (Jersey Boys), Jason Gotay (Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark, Bring It On), Ari Groover (Holler If Ya Hear Me), Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Kinky Boots), Jay Armstrong Johnson (Hair, On the Town), Aaron LaVigne (Spider-Man Turn off the Dark), Tracy McDowell (Motown the Musical, Rent), Corey Mach (Godspell, Hands on a Hardbody), Chelsea Packard (Wicked, Promises, Promises), Kyle Post (Kinky Boots, Rent), Saycon Sengbloh (Aida, Fela!), Libby Servais (Wicked, Lysistrata Jones), Keala Settle (Les Miserables, Hands on a Hardbody), Alysha Umphress (On the Town, American Idiot), Natalie Weiss (Everyday Rapture) and Raena White (The Lion King). Also featured will be Gabrielle Reid (Beautiful the Musical), Anita Welch, and Devon Yates.

Created in 2012, the Broadway Sings concert series salutes well-known pop icons while twisting their music to create brand new arrangements created specifically for the Broadway performer singing the song. The series is produced and directed by Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody, Wicked, Godspell) and features musical direction and arrangements by Joshua Stephen Kartes.

The series will continue this May with Broadway Sings Bruno Mars.
