Dream A Little Dream is an envelope-pushing, powerful journey of what it means for art to truly imitate life.
FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present Deon'te Goodman in Dream A Little Dream on Wednesday, July 7th. Before the shutdown, Deon'te Goodman had never seen the streets of New York City so quiet or deserted. Not long after this discontented silence, those same streets would soon fill with the resounding calls of protests, violence, and hatred, for which there seemed to be no escape. Deon'te, overcome with anxiety and desperate for a moment of relief, decided that the best way to calm his nerves was to sleep. And dream. Dream of a world that could be. His utopian society. Using a wide array of music, from your favorite songs to reimagined classics (and MAYBE even an original or two), Dream A Little Dream is an envelope-pushing, powerful journey of what it means for art to truly imitate life. Let's unpack this God-forsaken year together! Music director: Justin P. Cowan
Deon'te will be joined by Justin P. Cowan (West Side Story) as music director/accompanist. Along with Nygel D. Robinson on drums as well as Tyla Collier, Cindy Tsai, Scott Redmond, and Marquise Hitchcock as featured background vocalists. This show will also feature an original song composed by Amanda D'Archangelis.
