Photo Coverage: The Shapiro Sisters Celebrate CD Release at 54 Below
By: Genevieve Rafter Keddy Aug. 29, 2014
The Shapiro Sisters' debut album LIVE OUT LOUD: LIVE AT 54 BELOW will be released on September 9th, 2014. The Shapiro Sisters, 11-year old Milly Shapiro (Matilda, Original Broadway Cast of Matilda The Musical) and older sister, 14-year-old Abigail Shapiro (Cindy Lou Who, How The Grinch Stole Christmas), recorded the album live at the famed 54 BELOW over a series of three performances this past May and June. The Shapiro Sisters are returned to 54 BELOW last night, August 28th at 7:00 PM, for an encore performance to celebrate the launch of their new CD. Check out photos from the special event below!
The title song "Live Out Loud", from Andrew Lippa's A Little Princess, embodies the sisters' philosophy of living life out loud and reaching for their dreams. The concerts and upcoming album feature songs from many of the Shapiro Sisters' favorite musicals and films including WICKED, ANASTASIA, FROZEN THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, A LITTLE PRINCESS, THE SECRET GARDEN and more.
"Live Out Loud" is the latest in the "Live at 54 BELOW" series that started earlier last year with albums by Patti LuPone, Norbert Leo Butz, Christiane Noll, Andrea McArdle, Aaron Tveit, Laura Benanti and the most recently released Ahrens and Flaherty, Jarrod Spector, Sierra Boggess, Michael Cerveris & Loose Cattle and Bebe Neuwirth.
Tickets for tonight's performance start at $35 cover plus a $25 minimum. Note that guests and ticket prices are subject to change. To purchase tickets, visit www.54Below.com. Copies of the album will be available exclusively at 54 BELOW only during the concert, nearly two weeks ahead of the general public release date. Special guests Laura Osnes and Ben Thompson will be performing as well.
