Fergie L. Philippe To Make Solo Debut At 54 Below

54 Below will present Fergie L. Philippe: Honey Melodies and Old Fashioneds. The esteemed venue, commonly nicknamed as Broadway's living room, will play host to the Hamilton and Camelot star in his solo debut. The evening is set to feature a wide array of selections from the Great American Songbook and new arrangements of some familiar hits from film and television, along with some special guests and an eight-piece band.

 

Fergie L. Philippe has been seen on Broadway in Hamilton as Hercules Mulligan and James Madison and in Camelot as Sir Sagramore. He has been featured on television in The Good Fight, Law and Order: SVU and The Gilded Age, as well as the film Space Cadet. Fergie is also a writer, musician, puppeteer and director and is working to soon produce his own works with his production company “Et Toi Productions.”

 

The show's description states: “Fergie L. Philippe slows things down with a cozy and mostly jazzy evening of some of his favorite tunes by Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and maybe even Jim Henson. Featuring a full band and special guests, songs to look forward to include: “It's Only A Paper Moon,” “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “Nature Boy,” and “It's Not Easy Being Green.” Come down to 54 Below for a warm and toasty autumnal affair with Fergie L. Philippe.”

 

Ben Caplan will produce and music direct the evening as well as provide original orchestrations and arrangements.
