Feinstein's/54 Below is going to be tearing the roof off the joint when the Tony Award-winning musical, Memphis, returns for one night only in an all-star engagement reuniting members of the original cast plus some Broadway newcomers! Memphis tells the tale of pioneering deejay Huey Calhoun and his passion to integrate the world of rock and roll in the segregated South of the 1950s. When Huey meets his muse, Felicia, he will stop at nothing to get the world to hear the music of his soul. Memphis features music by Bon Jovi's David Bryan and lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change). This Tony Award winner for Best Musical features such songs as "The Music of My Soul," "Colored Woman," "Memphis Lives In Me," and "Big Love."

Bright Star Tony Award nominee Carmen Cusack returns to Feinstein's/54 Below after two sold out engagements!

Passing the Bechdel Test
February 9 at Feinstein's/54 Below- BUY TICKETS!
Join us at Feinstein's/54 Below for Passing the Bechdel Test: Duets for Women That Aren't About Men - an evening of world premieres and old favorites from New York's most exciting musical theatre composers as they embark on the impossible challenge of writing a duet for two women that isn't about loving the same man - or about a man at all. There will be sisters. There will be lesbians. There will probably be Miranda Priestly-esque nightmare bosses, or possibly some kind of time travel. When women start discussing things other than the men in their lives, who knows what might happen?
