This engagement celebrates Norm's fifth annual residency at Feinstein's/54 Below, and on hand for the party will be his Director, Richard Jay-Alexander, his Musical Director and Arranger, Joseph Joubert, and the swingin'est cats in town, George Farmer on bass and Parry Cavari on percussion.

In a year where Norm is feeling gratitude, he plans to dig deep into songs he's performed over the last five years and, of course, throw in plenty of showtunes and new favorites. You can also count on hearing some songs from the 2018 release of The Norm Lewis Christmas Album.

Norm's appearances at Feinstein's/54 Below have rapidly become a holiday tradition and are one of his favorite ways to end the year, spend time with friends, and share his special brand of holiday cheer. This year you can also count on special guests to join him on stage, each night, his usual generous gift giving, and yes, even bundt cakes - if you happen to come the night that cousin Bobby Lewis is the guest. Join us for dinner, some great music, and the best holiday art you can find in the heart of Broadway. Norm will be naughty AND nice!

Having collaborated with Comden and Green on the 1998 Broadway revival of On The Town, Ojeda threads together Betty & Adolph's fantastic hit songs like "Just In Time," "Make Someone Happy," and "The Party's Over," among others, while relaying his own personal memories of how they mentored, touched and changed his life as an artist.

Expect some very special guests to help celebrate the brilliant artists behind such musicals as Wonderful Town, Bells Are Ringing, On the 20th Century, and so many more.

BON NATALE [SIC]: THE ALMOST-MIDNIGHT MASS, DECEMBER 17 AT 11:30PM

Exactly one week before Christmas Eve, Bonnie Milligan (Head Over Heels, Promenade, "Search Party") and Natalie Walker (Alice by Heart, "BoJack Horseman," a much less significant role than Bonnie on "Search Party") return to Feinstein's/54 Below to help everyone celebrate the most wonderful time of the year: 11:30pm on a Tuesday. Yes, it's late, but let's level. If Bonnie and Natalie's work resonates with you, you're up until 1am every night this time of year anyway indulging in a festive cocktail of generalized anxiety and seasonal depression; you deserve to add booze and/or belting to the mix.

The material will range from classics to ought-to-be-classics to "why did they make us pay to watch them do this oh unfortunately this part has grown on me and I like it now."

The evening is music directed by Dan Garmon. Pray for him.

Critics raved about THE GRAVEYARD SMASH:

"Well, those two nut jobs are back at it [...] would likely benefit from a nice long session in group therapy [...] examining the honored tradition of musical theater and the rarified art form of cabaret with all the sanctity of Aileen Wuornos doing a reading of The Baker's Wife" - BroadwayWorld

"A near-death experience" - TheaterPizzazz

$25 - $35 cover charge. $60 premium seating. 2 drink or $20 food & beverage minimum.

In their 9th year, Big Red and the Boys have become an annual tradition for city dwellers looking to escape the typical holiday drudgery. Big Red opens her living room to you, sharing holiday stories and humor, toasting the New Year, and serenading the audience with song stylings from Irving Berlin standards to original works to some funked-up Destiny's Child. Grab a friend, grab a cocktail, and get cozy at your new home for the holidays!

Come experience the story of a midwestern musician from Michigan, whose musical journey began as a kid dreaming of becoming the next Neil Diamond, to finding a voice on the violin, and the unlikely road that led to sharing the stage - and in some cases, rental cars - with some of the most iconic musicians, actors, and artists of this generation, ultimately leading to the discovery of his own creative voice. ROADSIGNS features music from along Brad's musical path, including music of Jeff Daniels, Stevie Wonder, The Verve Pipe, and original songs accompanied on guitar and piano, with virtuosic instrumentals on violin, mandolin, octave mandolin, guitar, piano, and dobro. Brad's show creates an air of up close and personal intimacy and naked truthfulness that draws in an audience with genuine, heartfelt performances that will move you, light up your heart, make you laugh, make you feel, and make you think.
