Adam Gwon Announced At 54 Below, August 28

Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Adam Gwon in concert on Saturday, August 28th, 2021 at 9:45pm. Oh, friends: it's been a year.

Come mark the re-emergence of live performance-and let's face it, our hopes and dreams-with an evening of songs from composer/lyricist Adam Gwon, the Drama Desk-nominated writer of Scotland, PA and Ordinary Days. With his signature style that The New York Times calls "funny, urbane, with a sweetness that doesn't cloy," Adam and some of his nearest and dearest will welcome you back to the theater with bursting hearts and tunes galore. This intimate affair will celebrate the hell out of the things we've been missing: our friends, our songs, and these rooms full of music.

Joining the lineup are an incredible group of Broadway performers, each with a history of performing Gwon's work: Ciara Renée (Frozen, Pippin, Big Fish), Deborah S. Craig (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Etai Benson (Company, The Band's Visit), Zachary Noah Piser (Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked), and Sarah Lynn Marion (Ordinary Days revival). The evening will include songs new and old, with brand-new arrangements for piano and guitar by Andy Zinsmeister.
