Tony, Grammy, Emmy, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, Tom Kitt, will present two special encore performances of his new solo concert, Reflections, on Monday, July 18, and Tuesday, July 26, at Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th St), returning to the venue after a sold-out performance of the same show in May 2022. Kitt will be at the piano performing original songs from his musicals including NEXT TO NORMAL, IF/THEN, and SUPERHERO, along with songs from his new album "Reflect." The audience will also get to hear brand new material, including songs from his upcoming musical Almost Famous, along with some surprises.

"As someone who very rarely gets to sing my own songs, performing my first solo show last May was such a thrill," Kitt said. "I'm so touched that audiences enjoyed it as much as I did, and that the wonderful team at Feinstein's/54 Below has invited me back again."
