Join us at Feinstein's/54 Below for an evening featuring the songs of the new musical Millennials Are Killing Musicals, written by NAMT award-winning writer Nico Juber. Millennials Are Killing Musicals is an entirely original show with an authentic, witty, and disarmingly heartfelt take on motherhood, the Millennial existential crisis, and the stereotypes that define a generation. Millennials Are Killing Musicals follows single mom Brenda in her quest to unleash her creative voice and "get it together" like the seemingly flawless moms at kindergarten drop-off. Her plan is derailed when her sister Katrina arrives, eight months pregnant and blissfully unprepared!

Featuring Klea Blackhurst, Alex Boniello, Nicholas Edwards, Lauren Marcus, Olivia Puckett, Marissa Rosen, Nora Schell, and Nyla Watson.

Michael Kelly IN THE PLEASING RECOLLECTION - APRIL 5 AT 7:00 PM & APRIL 6 AT 9:30 PM

In the mid-1970s, a young man (portrayed by As One's Michael Kelly) lands ashore in Manhattan without a map. Negotiating his way into a life in the performing arts, The Pleasing Recollection chronicles his musical adventures as he charmingly stumbles into some of the musical and theater giants of the era including Larry Kert, Leonard Bernstein, Charles Ludlum, and Aaron Copland among them. Librettist Stephen Kitsakos's autobiographical story rolls forward with composer Martin Hennessy's ingenious score. At the intersection of cabaret and opera theater they create a playful, witty, and joyful tale.

Join us at Feinstein's/54 Below for a performance that sings in the sensibility of contemporary musical theatre, but reminisces about a period in the lives of LGBTQ+ people that was both exhilarating and dangerous.

The award-winning American baritone Michael Kelly has led a versatile and multifaceted career performing and concertizing with major international opera and theater companies in a wide-ranging repertoire including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Geffen Hall, and the Kennedy Center. An interpreter of composers Bernstein, Sondheim and Ricky Ian Gordon, his repertoire includes appearances ranging from Passion in Paris to Kiss Me, Kate in St. Petersburg to the transgender character, Hannah Before, performing the role across the USA in As One, the most performed chamber opera in America today.

Directed by Murphy Davis

Musical direction by Benedicte Jourdois

$55 cover charge. $75-$90 premium seating. $25 food & beverage minimum
