YOUNG SHELDON (HARNICK) – AUGUST 12 AT 7PM

This year, 2024, marks the centenary of the birth of Sheldon Harnick, one of the country's finest lyricists for the American musical. Sheldon, along with his writing partner, Jerry Bock, have contributed some of the greatest musicals written for the Broadway stage, including Fiddler on the Roof, The Apple Tree, and The Rothschilds, to name a few. But long before his Pulitzer Prize and many Tony Awards, Sheldon was hard at work writing for the Northwestern University WAA-MU shows. And those early revue songs make the basis for our Sheldon centenary event at 54 Below.

Our revue, Young Sheldon (Harnick), features some of Sheldon's earliest compositions. They're full of wit, emotion and silliness. We've got a cast of three singers from the worlds of Broadway and cabaret to deliver a rousing evening that is guaranteed to make us forget the troubles outside the doors of 54 Below. All of which will be accompanied by an actual live pianist! No expense is being spared.

Sheldon's career started writing in fifth grade with this surprisingly mature piece of the poet's art:

The turkey has my sympathy

Why must we be so mean

What has the turkey done

That he deserves the guillotine?

Nevertheless, Sheldon went on to the heights of the lyricist's art.

Young Sheldon (Harnick) guarantees laughs. No sad songs, no lessons, no grand pronouncements. Just guffaws, howls, and roars of delight. Oh, and don't forget to bring lots of tissues. Not because you'll be emotionally laid bare. But because you'll be crying with laughter.

Produced by Grammy Award winner Ken Bloom, acclaimed for his work as a theater historian, author/playwright, director, and record producer.

Featuring Eric Comstock, Barbara Fasano, Kenneth Kantor, Ellen Mittenthal, and Sara Zahn.

$62 cover charge (includes $7 in fees). $100.50 premium seating (includes $10.50 in fees). $25 food & beverage minimum.

“A direct, authentic singer, demonstrating vocal dynamism, authentic phrasing, electrifying numbers, and possessing a profound command of deep scat and vocalese…”- The New York City Jazz Record

Having worked with a multitude of legendary artists and jazz luminaries such as Russell Malone, Tierney Sutton, Michael Feinstein, and more, this is a show you do NOT want to miss. April by April Varner, her debut album, pays homage to her name, consisting exclusively of songs that contain the word “April.” Produced by Grammy nominated drummer, educator, and producer, Ulysses Owens Jr., the idea behind Ms. Varner’s album is tongue-in-cheek, but it spans across styles and textures.

MORE ABOUT 54 BELOW

54 Below, a recipient of the 2022 TONY AWARDS® Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, is a non-profit organization with a mission to preserve the music of Broadway and expand the art of the cabaret while growing opportunities for diverse communities of emerging and established artists and providing unparalleled audience experiences.

It was founded as a place for the Broadway community to celebrate Broadway performers, both established and new, who sing not only the music of Broadway and the Great American Songbook, but also new material intended for Broadway and off-Broadway stages. One of the most in demand venues in the city presenting over 700 shows per year, the club features fine dining and superb scenic, lighting, and sound designs entirely imagined by Broadway designers. For performers, writers, musicians, and more, 54 Below gives opportunities to advance their craft, expand their repertoires, and develop their voices in a way that is more personal, making them stronger as artists.  It gives Broadway fans an opportunity to see their favorite artists in a different way, deepening their relationship and understanding of their talent.

54 Below celebrates Broadway musicals and writers of the past and present, promoting an ongoing engagement with their work. It is also a place for innovation in musical songwriting and performance. Collaborations born at 54 Below give rise to and help develop new theatrical projects and new musicals. In addition, its popular streaming video activities and audio recordings support these activities, helping to build a new Broadway audience worldwide, both in age and geography.

Located at 254 West 54th Street, the club presents live shows at 7pm and 9:30pm. Tickets and information at  54below.org.
