Monday is typically referred to as a “slow” night of the week in New York City inasmuch as most Broadway shows are “dark”.  However, in some ways it becomes one of the most exciting nights to be in Manhattan. 

There are galas and there are galas and, then, there was what Black Theatre United pulled off last night, September 30th, celebrating GENERATIONS OF EXCELLENCE at the Ziegfeld Ballroom. From the moment you walked in to the moment you left, the love, respect, admiration and warmth throughout the evening was palpable.

See photos from Cheyenne Jackson’s second performance of SIGNS OF LIFE at 54 Below with special guest Abby Mueller. Cheyenne can sing anything, earning him well-deserved standing ovations. We all look forward to the canon of music he will continue to bring to 54 Below. Enjoy my photos and know that you can see him until September 29th.

Perla Batalla and Patrick Page's idea came to full-blown life last night, Saturday September 21 on the stage of 54 Below. Ms. Batalla is known for her rich history with the legendary Leonard Cohen and Mr. Page, of course, is known for mining excellent material, so richly, here investigating the prolific songwriter.

Having not traveled too much afar, since Covid, when Eda and I learned that Hugh Panaro would be making his Crazy Coqs debut here in London, we booked the trip. Check out photos here, that will give you some idea of what these fantastic evenings were like!

We had thunderstorms last night, here in London, and I am totally convinced it was all due to the electricity Hugh Panaro unleashed into the atmosphere with his CRAZY COQS Debut.

One thing is for sure: when Deborah Silver appears live, that special kind of energetic excitement, elusive on her award-winning recordings, videos, and social media platforms, becomes unleashed in the venue that the “glitter & grits” vocalist performs in. And so it was last night at The City Winery in New York City. Check out photos from the event here!

Go inside Barrington Stage Company's The Best of Times, A 30th Anniversary Celebration with new photos.

Lucie Arnaz concluded her “job” at 54 Below last night and she entranced a celebrity filled audience during the final night of her show titled “ I Got The Job”.   Check out photos here!

Will Friedwald’s Clip Joint presented the legendary film critic and personality “Rex Reed Remembers Polly Bergen” last night at the Triad Theater.  

At first glance they might seem like a musical and personality mismatch, but the chemistry between Liz Callaway and Jason Graae is far from problematic.  It is an enormously entertaining integration of these two artists musicianship, acting, and comedic expertise.

It’s not my photography skills, nor the lighting, camera or lens that make these photos taken last night of Christine Andreas appear to be similar to the ones I shot 10 years ago. Madame Andreas (who speaks lots of French during her show aat 54 Below) has found the secret of ageless, timeless beauty. 

It isn’t often on a hot summer night that I get chills and goosebumps, but that happened at Linda Eder’s performance at 54 Below last night.  Check out photos here

Each night of Norm Lewis's SUMMERTIME show at 54 Below was a different kind of magic and, lucky me, living so nearby, I was able to capture all the award-winning guests and high-profile friends. So, here for Norm Lewis, who brought summer early to all of us at 54 Below, is a scrapbook of his seven nights and special guests, both on stage and off.

“The Heat is On” at 54 Below with a new show Norm Lewis is performing, called SUMMERTIME (Special TONY Edition). Check out photos here!

I had no idea that 54 DOES 54 has been an annual event for many years, but I am so glad I was there on Sunday night to witness the range of talents and the performances from so many of the staff of the club and personnel from the offices upstairs of 54 Below.
