Adam Pascal, Brandon Victor Dixon and More Set for THE SONGS OF TOR & LISA at Feinstein's/54 Below

THE SONGS OF TOR & LISA will be performed on February 8, 2016, as part of Feinstein's/54 Below's Songwriters in Concert series.

Directed by Kevin McGuire, the show will feature: Adam Pascal (Rent, Memphis), Brandon Victor Dixon (Motown, The Color Purple), John Cariani (Something Rotten, Law & Order), Josh Grisetti (It Shoulda Been You), Barbara Walsh (Falsettos, Company), Leenya Rideout (Warhorse, Cabaret), Drew Gehling (Waitress), Lisa Rothauser (The Producers), and Tor Hyams (Composer).

Grammy-nominated songwriter Tor Hyams and veteran Broadway performer Lisa Rothauser debut their favorite selections from the dynamic duo's four-year collaboration in musical theatre. Featuring performances by Adam Pascal, Brandon Victor Dixon, John Cariani, Leenya Rideout, Drew Gehling, Josh Grisetti, and more Broadway superstars TBA, this one-night-only event will showcase music from four of their original musicals currently in development (Stealing Time, Auburn, LIFE. WTF?, and The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You) and a few songs too early to tell WTF they are. The story...Tor has a mid-life crisis, quits the record business, gets a divorce, leaves LA for NYC, and devotes the rest of his life to writing musical theatre. Lisa discovers her husband is cheating, has a mid-life crisis, gets a divorce, leaves Greenwich for NYC, meets Tor at a bar one night four years ago and the rest is history. Who knew?

Grammy nominated songwriter, Tor Hyams, and veteran Broadway performer, Lisa Rothauser teamed up after Hyams premiered his first original musical, Greenwood, at NYMF 2011. They immediately began collaborating on Stealing Time, which debuted at NYMF 2012, was featured in the Finger Lakes Musical Theater Festival and is now being developed. Auburn The Musical is their latest venture and Lisa's one-woman event, LIFE. Who Knew? has played to sold-out audiences at Joe's Pub, 42 West and 54 Below. Under their moniker, Big Clock Music, Hyams and Rothauser wrote Mommy Needs A Timeout for the Nickelodeon Mom Channel (Nickmom) and most recently wrote and recorded an album with Howie D of the Backstreet Boys entitled Howie Do. In 2014, the duo was accepted to the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop in New York and participated in the prestigious Johnny Mercer Writer's Colony at Goodspeed Opera House (2015). In addition, Tor and Lisa continue to compose for commercials, corporations, television and film.
