Emily Padgett, Whitney Bashor & More Set for THERE'S SOMETHING THERE at 54 Below

Songwriting team Matte O'Brien and Matt Vinson will be making their 54 Below debut on September 27th at 9:30PM. Top Broadway vocalists accompanied by a power ensemble and live folk-rock band make this a sonic experience not to be missed. The night is set to feature Emily Padgett (Side Show, Rock of Ages), Whitney Bashor (Bridges of Madison County, Beaches), Rema Webb (A New Brain NYCC, Violet, Book of Mormon), Nancy Anderson (Kiss me Kate: PBS Great Performances, Wonderful Town), Lauren Zakrin (Rock of Ages, Legally Blonde: Search for Elle Woods), Michelle Veintimilla (The Visit), Chris Dwan (Finding Neverland), Blake Whyte (Wicked, Mamma Mia), Jared Zirilli (Lysistrata Jones, Fat Camp, Wicked Tour), Geoffrey Kidwell (Rock of Ages), and Luke Wygodny (American Idiot). The cast will also include Carly Augenstein, Christina D. Eskridge, John Garry, Brad Greer, Alyson Lange, and Christian Noojin.

Matt and Matte are New York based music theatre writers whose eclectic style melds an emotional fusion of folk, rock, soul, and Broadway pop. For their 54 Below concert debut, they bring original songs from two upcoming collaborations: the pop-rock opera CAKE, based on the writings of Marie Antoinette and the Marquis de Sade and an epic-folk adaptation of L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables.

The evening also features new arrangements of songs from their musical Peter & I, which previously enjoyed a sold-out Off-Broadway run at the American Theatre of Actors as part of the Araca Project. Padgett, Dwan, Zirilli, and Kidwell are all reuniting after having headlined the 2011 production.

Musical Direction is provided by Matt Vinson with accompaniment by band members Micah Burgess (Guitar), Alisa Horn (Cello) and Jeremy Yaddow (Drums). The concert will also feature musical staging by Jennifer Jancuska. It is being produced by Lee Ann Gullie, Justin Nichols, and Rope Swing Entertainment.

Admission price ranges from $25-$35-$60 with a $25 food/beverage minimum per person.
