Jesse Luttrell unleashes his shattering voice and theatrical, post-modern vaudevillian style on an evening of treasured swing, big band, and show songs. Jesse's repertoire runs the gamut from Jule Styne, Cy Coleman and Rodgers & Hart, to Anthony Newley, Jerry Herman specialties, and Peter Allen showstoppers. Fred Barton has created high-octane new arrangements and will lead his 8-piece Broadway Band. 54 Below favorite Seth Sikes will make a special appearance with Jesse, as they strut the stage in rare Jule Styne barn-burner that never fails to bring down the house. Jesse Luttrell and the Fred Barton Broadway Band play Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) tonight, January 29 at 9:30PM. There is a $25-$35 cover charge, with premium seating at $65, and a $25 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.

Jesse Luttrell had an unusual background for a vaudevillian: he began as a precocious ballet dancer in his teens, with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and The Rock School/Pennsylvania Ballet. He made the switch to musical theatre, and toured the country in a wide variety of shows, playing the Pharaoh in Joseph And The Technicolor Dream Coat, the Emcee in Cabaret, Frank-n-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show, and multiple roles in Cats, Peter Pan, and Meet Me In St. Louis.
