54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents two-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone in "Far Away Places - Part Two" tonight, November 3, through November 15.

In this continuation of the show (which will include a few encores from the landmark Part One) she further explores her wanderlust, performing songs by an eclectic group of songwriters including Irving Caesar, Billy Joel, David Yazbek, Johnny Mercer and Kris Kristofferson.
