The Brass Menagerie is a campy romp through the women of Tennessee Williams...in SONG!
54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present Amy Jo Jackson in The Brass Menagerie on November 1st, 2022 at 9:30pm.
It's not a comeback - IT'S A RETURN! Fresh off a run at the 2022 Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival, and now a Bistro Award winner for this very show, Amy Jo Jackson brings their signature blend of belting and the-yah-tuh to the 54 Below stage. The Brass Menagerie is a campy romp through the women of Tennessee Williams...in SONG! If you've ever wondered what it would be like to hear Blanche DuBois, Maggie the Cat or the Wingfield family sing through their plays, wonder no longer - Amy Jo Jackson is here to bring all of the charm and vivacity, vivacity and charm that the South demands to these iconic women. Whether you're familiar with the works of Tennessee or not, you'll enjoy this ridiculous lark of a concert, taking you through such plays as A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Summer and Smoke, The Rose Tattoo, and many more, mashed up with classic songs of the musical theatre canon. With music director Brian Nash on the keys, prepare yourselves for an evening of strong drinks, strong accents, and even stronger choices.
"If you want to have a completely unique and unforgettable cabaret experience, rely on the kindness of this stranger's advice and see The Brass Menagerie wherever and whenever it appears next. It is an undeniable triumph for Amy Jo Jackson." - Bistro Awards
Written and performed by Amy Jo Jackson; music direction and arrangements by Brian Nash; direction by Andrew Neisler.
