Jason Kravits to Bring Completely Improvised Cabaret to 54 Below Next Month

54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Jason Kravits in "I (a Life)" on Saturday, January 10th. 11:30pm. With Wayne Barker on piano, plus special guests. Directed by Julie Kramer.

TV and Broadway veteran JASON KRAVITS (The Practice, The Drowsy Chaperone, Don't Quit Your Night Job) makes his 54 Below debut in one of the most spontaneous, original evenings of cabaret you'll ever see. Why? Because it's completely improvised! All patter songs, standards, show-stoppers and ballads...completely made up. From scratch. On the spot. Same with all whimsical recollections, backstage anecdotes, old chestnuts and sob stories. Ably accompanied by Tony Award nominee Wayne Barker, Jason will invent an entire life in song, based solely on audience suggestions. It's sure to be a high-wire act of musical proportions!

Jason Kravits in "I (a Life)" plays 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on Saturday, January 10th at 11:30pm. Cover charge starts at $15, with a $20 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.
