Caissie Levy, Kacie Sheik, Jason Gotay, and More Set for Drew Gasparini's KEEPIN' THE PARTY GOING at 54 Below

Over the years Drew Gasparini has perfected the formula for an incredible concert: move them to tears, make them laugh 'til it hurts, then blow the roof off the place. They leave a little happier, a little drunker, and with slightly wetter panties. But why settle for perfection?! On January 5th Drew Gasparini will ring in 2015 with a brand new show. New lineup, new music, new structure. Same heart, same humor, same Drew. It will be unexpected and surprising in all of the best ways. And-dare we be so bold-it will be a next step in the revolution. Drew and his cohorts are composing a new sound for musical theatre, a new prism for pop, and a new definition of fun. They're changing the rules of the game, and keepin' the party going.

In addition to Levy, Sheik, and Gotay, the list of performers who will be rockin' out with Drew on January 5 includes Ben Crawford (Big Fish, Shrek), Brandon Ellis (Once), Remy Zaken (Spring Awakening), Julia Mattison (Godspell), Preston Sadleir (Next To Normal), Kasie Gasparini (Mamma Mia!), Chloe Gasparini, Louis Sacco (Silence! The Musical),Hannah Kloepfer, Lauren T. Mack, Troy Iwata, Jennifer Haining, Jenny Christine, and The (M)orons: Alex Brightman (Matilda, Wicked), Andrew Kober (Les Miserables, Hair), andF. Michael Haynie (Wicked, Peter Pan LIVE!). They will be accompanied by Drew (piano), Justin Goldner (bass), Adam Stoler (guitar), and Marques Walls (drums). The concert is produced by Erica Rotstein.

A few blocks from the heart of Times Square and just below the legendary Studio 54, 54 BELOW is a classically designed state-of-the art nightclub in the theatre district that hosts audiences with warmth and style. The venue provides a food and beverage menu from early evening through the wee hours of the morning that is worthy of the world-class entertainment on the stage. In their description of 54 BELOW, The New York Times writes "the club has the intimacy of a large living room with unimpeded views and impeccable sound; there is not a bad seat. Its sultry after-hours ambience is enhanced by brocade-patterned wall panels planted with orange-shaded lanterns. And the atmosphere is warmer and sexier than in Manhattan's other major supper clubs." Located at 254 West 54th Street, 54 BELOW features up to three shows nightly with cover charges ranging from $15-$95.
