"Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It's transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It's uplifting, it's encouraging, it's strengthening." - Aretha Franklin

Musical Theater Fireworks! Broadway Celebrates The 4th of July!
It's America's birthday! We will sing of its beauty, we will sing of its promise, and we will sing of its struggles. You'll hear the music of Broadway, Hollywood, Nashville, Motown, and more - all of it honoring the meaning of America, and all of them famous songs! From "America, The Beautiful" to "Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?," and from Richie Havens' "Freedom," to "Molasses to Rum" from 1776. You'll hear songs like Johnny Horton's "The Battle of New Orleans," Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction," and Frank Sinatra's hit "The House I Live In" (the song that put him in Dutch with the House Un-American Activities Committee).
The show is a pure Americana - of every kind! Because America belongs to all of us.
So, on Independence Day, come join a wildly talented cast of Broadway and nightclub stars light up the night sky with the most famous, beloved, and stirring songs about this ongoing, heroic American Experiment called The United States.
Musical Theater Fireworks! is created by NYC impresario Scott Siegel, who has written, directed, and produced concerts for Michael Feinstein, but is, perhaps, best known as the creator, writer, director, and host of The Town Hall's signature series, Broadway by the Year. Scott has created more than 400 major concerts all over the world!

Storm Large cartwheeled out of the gutter of her checkered past across a thousand punk rock stages and into her infamously googled stint on CBS's "Rock Star: Supernova." From there she went on to tour the world, singing in 17 different languages-and only behaving herself somewhat-with the joyful little pop orchestra Pink Martini. Now, this self-described "genre-fluid big mouth" tours the country with her own band, Le Bonheur. Storm brought Feinstein's/54 Below to its knees last December with sold-out performances of her Holiday Ordeal, and returns with a new collection of tortured and titillating love songs; beautiful, familiar, yet subversive. Like Storm.

As a Broadway veteran, Mike has been seen playing children in Tuck Everlasting, Wicked, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but his edgy voice hardly matches his youthful type, so Mike is taking to the Feinstein's/54 Below stage to lead you through an evening much closer to his grown-up rocker roots. From his debut album, Mike will be previewing new original material, as well as some of his favorite folk-rock covers of "Pure Imagination" and "Round Here", and his high-octane covers of "Midnight Radio", "Worry", and "Wild Love".

Before the shutdown, Deon'te Goodman had never seen the streets of New York City so quiet or deserted. Not long after this discontented silence, those same streets would soon fill with the resounding calls of protests, violence, and hatred, for which there seemed to be no escape. Deon'te, overcome with anxiety and desperate for a moment of relief, decided that the best way to calm his nerves was to sleep. And dream. Dream of a world that could be. His utopian society. Using a wide array of music, from your favorite songs to reimagined classics (and MAYBE even an original or two), Dream A Little Dream is an envelope-pushing, powerful journey of what it means for art to truly imitate life. Let's unpack this God-forsaken year together!
Deon'te Goodman (he/him) was most recently seen in the Broadway cast of Hamilton. His credits include: Hamilton: An American Musical where he performs in the ensemble and understudies Aaron Burr, George Washington, and Mulligan/Madison. Regionally, Deon'te has performed roles in In The Heights, Songbird, Freedom Riders, and many others. As an activist, Deon'te works with Broadway for Racial Justice as the director of Education and outreach. As a vocal coach, he works with several performers in NYC and has acted as vocal supervisor in studio sessions with artists such as MJ Rodriguez ("Pose").

Natalie Walker spent the pandemic somewhere outside of her body watching her brain shatter and reassemble and shatter and reassemble ad infinitum (Latin, highbrow....). Now the only thing that feels in any way grounding to her is to sing and/or scream in a basement and be witnessed throughout, so she is going it alone at Feinstein's/54 Below for the very first time after successfully riding the coattails of her extraordinary friends in prior engagements with Bonnie Milligan and Heath Saunders. In the grand classical tradition (opera, highbrow....), Natalie Walker: Mad Scenes is an evening dedicated to the art of unhinging. Accompanied by music director Dan Garmon, Walker will take the audience* on a tour from hebetude to hysteria, Lucia to Liza, Norma to Neely, Beale to Bensimon (Housewives, highbrow, taste is meaningless) and back again.
*Walker's rider stipulates that the audience ratio of close friends to people she doesn't know very well be correct, so the vibe is "warm and supportive" but stops far short of "maybe an intervention?" She doesn't know what that exact ratio is and never will because she does not respect numbers as an art form but trusts everyone to "just be cool" and "sort of feel it out."

Vocalist John Minnock returns to Feinstein's/54 Below for a high energy jazz-infused show, celebrating the release of his 2020 album, Herring Cove. With him is special guest, NEA Jazz Master and Grammy-nominee saxophonist, Dave Liebman. Mr. Minnock performs material remaining faithful to and drawing from his background as a gay man and the LGBTQ community. This includes original songs, re-imagined standards, and a new song written for the album by music industry legend, David Shire.
Mr. Minnock is the recipient of the 2019 HotHouse/Jazzmobile NYC Readers Best Male Vocalist award.
"Minnock is a leader with an empowered vision...sympathetic emotions we all feel, everyone, though especially the gay men who will find their own stories here. Particularly special to the success of Herring Cove is the contribution of Academy Award winner David Shire, providing two songs for Minnock, who skillfully embodies the Maestro's mood. Minnock's performance is articulate and emotionally in contact with Mr. Shire's artistry." - Stephen Mosher, BroadwayWorld
"Courageous storytelling...Minnock's phrasing seamlessly veers from romantic to lighthearted and acerbic alongside an accomplished crew that includes saxophonist/producer Dave Liebman...consistently uses his dramatic inflections to serve the songs contrasting tones." - Aaron Cohen, DownBeat
