Sarah Anne Fernandez, Sunayna Smith, Randell Benford, and More Star in 54 SINGS HISTORY 101

54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents 54 Sings History 101: Historical Figures who got the Broadway Treatment on January 9 at 9:30pm. 

Do you know what Eva Perón, Princess Diana, and Jesus Christ all have in common? They probably never sang in real life. But that hasn't stopped us from portraying them as belting, screlting, and ballading versions of themselves for centuries. 54 Sings History 101 begs the question: what do our musical portrayals of history's most influential figures say about us? History class is in session! Join us for a celebration of some of the most iconic portrayals of real people from history, culture, and politics, featuring selections from Evita, Lizzie, Assassins, SIX, Diana, First Daughter Suite and more! 

Featuring Sarah Anne Fernandez (Wicked nat'l tour), Sunayna Smith (SIX), Randell Benford (Love Life at New York City Center), Jack Baugh (The Office off-Broadway), Mia Cherise Hall (TikTok star), Ella Baumann, Rita Castagna, Tara Lashan Clinkscales, Zyana Cola, Tatianna Córdoba, Hannah Ellowitz, Mia Goodman, Alexa Joseph, Eric May Liu, Ally Massey, Aidan McKeon, Courtney Anne Nelson, Jake Oswell, Jonah Ruderman, Abigail Tucker, Hallie Walker, Mallory Wintz
