Feinstein's/54 Below Presents THE SONGS OF ANDREW R. BUTLER

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents The Songs of Andrew R. Butler as part their performance series New Writers at 54! New Writers at 54! is an ongoing series at Feinstein's/54 Below showcasing exciting work by today's hottest emerging voices

Andrew R. Butler, creator/star of the Lortel Award-winning Rags Parkland Sings The Songs Of The Future, Jonathan Larson Grant recipient, and four-time Drama Desk nominee makes his Feinstein's/54 Below debut in an evening of tunes from his unconventional songbook. Expect a rollicking night of barn-burners and bluegrass ballads from Butler's Floridian gator shows, Southern Gothics, and bunny murder mysteries- manifested with the help of his swamp-rock band and special guests from Broadway and beyond, including Brittain Ashford (Great Comet of 1812), Kuhoo Verma (Octet), and original Rags Parkland cast members Stacey Sargeant, Debbie Tjong, Rick Burkhardt, and Tony Jarvis. Butler's shows are as funny as they are touching- using absurdity and humor (and humanoid robots) to fill us up with the heart of the human experience.
