Eli Bolin and Mike Pettry's New Rock Christmas Musical Headed to Feinstein's/54 Below

Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, will present The Last Song of Eddie Scourge, a new musical by Eli Bolin (Found, Skippyjon Jones) and Mike Pettry (The Light Princess, The Time Travelers Convention), on November 30th, 2016 at 9:30pm.

Eddie Scourge is a real bastard. He hasn't had a hit since his best friend and songwriting partner Jeff Morley O.D.ed 15 years ago. Notorious for his bad attitude and the horrible way he treats everyone around him, Eddie only emerges from his self-imposed exile once a year to put on a corporate-sponsored televised Christmas special. This year, he's faced with an ultimatum: update his dusty show with a new hit song, or be cancelled. In this new musical by Eli Bolin and Mike Pettry, a late night of songwriting brings out all the ghosts of Eddie's rock 'n' roll past, present, and future.

The Last Song of Eddie Scourge features music direction by Mike Pettry and direction by Michael Perlman (Noises Off). The evening is produced by Erica Rotstein and Dana M. Lerner. Cast to be announced soon.

The Last Song of Eddie Scourge plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) November 30th, 2016. Tickets start at $25 and there is a $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.
