54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents "RELATIVITY: A New Musical In Concert" on August 28th at 9:30pm. From the award-winning team of Rob Rokicki (The Lightning Thief) and Michael Ruby (Ethan Frome), and featuring F. Michael Haynie (Wicked, Holler If You Hear Me) and Sarah Beth Pfeifer (Legally Blonde, The Lightning Thief), the show makes its New York debut following its recent development at the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival (Merry-Go-Round Playhouse).

With music and lyrics by Rokicki and book and additional lyrics by Ruby, RELATIVITY is an exciting, funny and poignant new pop/rock musical about siblings and perspective. The show follows the characters Derek and Reagan, twins who discover over the course of a decade that there are two things no one can ever escape: time and family.

The performance is directed by Paul Stancato (Basquiat, The House of Dancing Water). Rob Rokicki music directs and leads the band, including Micah Burgess, Seth Eliser and Dennis Michael Keefe.

RELATIVITY plays 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on August 28 at 9:30pm (doors at 8:45). There is a $25-$50 cover charge and $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.

Rob Rokicki and Michael Ruby's musicals, songs and plays have been performed across the U.S., and in England and South America. The team's other credits include Love, NY (American Harmony Prize, 2013 Capital Fringe, New World Stages concert) and Strange Tails (Ars Nova ANT Fest, TriArts Sharon Playhouse, multiple year/multiple award-winner at The West Village Musical Theatre Festival). Rob has also written the music and lyrics for The Lightning Thief, which is currently playing at The Lucille Lortel Theatre, and his album "I'm Ready: The Songs of Rob Rokicki" is available on iTunes. Michael Ruby has also written the books for Ethan Frome (developed at The York, music/lyrics by Adam Gwon) and the WWII revue Swing For Victory!
