James (The Book of Mormon and Suffs), and Alysha Umphress (On the Townand American Idiot). Further casting will be announced at a later date.

Viertel said, ““I’m truly thrilled to be able to bring my new novel Broadway Melody to life at 54 Below. Hearing the songs that the characters in the book sing, talk about and that are so much a part of their lives will be really lovely and exciting for me. They’re all songs that I care about deeply and I look forward to bringing them to life in such an intimate atmosphere, sung by brilliant Broadway performers.” 

The concert will be directed and produced by award winning creative Robert W. Schneider.

Broadway Melody is a love letter to both the Golden Age of the American musical and a bygone era of the city that never sleeps, all seen through the eyes of a lovelorn trumpet player and an actress on the cusp of her big break.
