HOLLOWAY to Take Famous Disappearance to the Stage at Feinstein's/54 Below

Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Holloway: In Concert on Sunday, August 14th at 9:30PM.

Holloway is a new, contemporary pop based musical inspired by events of the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway. With a score and book by new writer Joseph Smith, the musical is a story of passion, hope, and love, and begins to ask the question-what does it mean to live? This concert is the New York City premiere and will feature original songs from the new work. The show follows Natalee's disappearance from 2005 up until 2010, covering a span of five years. It centers on a group of teenagers who travel to Aruba on a senior class trip. On the last night out, Natalee Holloway runs off with a local and disappears, and her mother Beth is left to lead the search efforts in her disappearance.

The concert will feature performances from Analisa Leaming (The King and I, On The Twentieth Century), Chris McCarrell (Les Miserables, Peter Pan Live), Tamika Lawrence (If/Then, Beautiful, The Wiz Live), Kennedy Caughell (Wicked), Casey Erin Clark (Les Miserables), Ryan Vasquez (Waitress, Wicked), Troy Iwata, and Alison Luff (Les Miserables, Matilda, Wicked), as well as Maddie Olsem (Cedar Rapids, IA) and Christian Spendlove (Ames, IA) who participated in the original workshop in April in Iowa. The concert will be directed by Nathan Brewer with musical direction by Greg Kenna.
