SETH SIKES SINGS MOSTLY JUDY GARLAND, NOVEMBER 24 AT 9:30PM:

"I told you recently about a young man, Seth Sikes, who has appeared at the NYC nightspot 54 Below, singing the songs of Judy Garland. I went off to see him last week and couldn't have been more charmed. He's young and handsome and enthusiastic. He doesn't try to duplicate her sound. Sikes has boundless energy and a true, strong voice, with just the right amount of throb and drive and melancholy. The place was packed." -Liz Smith. "There's no telling how far Seth Sikes will go." -Rex Reed, New York Observer. "Sikes may well be one of the saviors of the Great American Songbook as we continue into the 21st century." -NY Arts Review. Seth Sikes returns to Feinstein's/54 Below to perform a revamped version of his critically-acclaimed show, Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland, an evening of Garland's most popular songs, adding several new arrangements. Sikes has sold out all of his previous appearances at the nightclub. Best known in the theater as an assistant director (on shows like The Nance, Tribes, and Pageant), Sikes takes the stage himself with a seven-piece band to recount how Garland captivated him as a young boy in Paris, Texas, and to sing some of the legend's greatest hits. The evening was co-conceived by Tony winner Lisa Lambert and directed by Eric Gililland. Orchestrations are by Matt Aument, and the Music Director is Gary Adler. "Sikes's voice is hardy, and he can belt out key musical phrases with impressive vivacity." -BistroAwards.com. "A fun, emotional night of songs. He sings with energy and enthusiasm, his excitement spilling through every note." -CenterOnTheAisle.com. "The best tribute to Garland I've ever seen." -Theatre Scene. $30-40 cover charge. $65 premium seating. $25 food and beverage minimum.

SALLY ANN TRIPLETT, NOVEMBER 27 AT 9:30PM:

The first time that Sally Ann Triplett performed at Feinstein's/54 Below she sang a duet with Sting (she did after all play his wife in The Last Ship!). Now, Sally returns on her own to re-trace some of the steps she's taken over the past 35 years as a West End leading lady, in shows including Anything Goes, Chicago, Guys And Dolls, Cats, Jolson, Grease, Follies, Chess, Whorehouse, and more. You might even expect a trip down memory lane to her very brief time in the original Broadway production of Carrie. There will be blood!... sweat and perhaps a few tears as Sally sings the work of Porter, Gershwin, Arlen, Pitchford, Wood, and (can't get rid of him)... Sting. $30-40 cover charge. $70 premium seating. $25 food and beverage minimum.

LENA HALL, NOVEMBER 28-29 AT 9:30PM:

Tony Award winner Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Kinky Boots) is your guide through this brand new musical memoir of her upbringing in the Villa Satori, her psychedelic family home in the heart of San Francisco's Haight Ashbury. Her story recounting the trials and tribulations of growing up in a legendary hippie household is brought to life through intimate storytelling, interpretive dance, and humor-all set to a dizzyingly eclectic soundtrack that features classical, soul, new wave, punk rock, and more. Consider yourself warned-this performance will contain explicit use of embarrassing home videos and incense. Lena Hall will be joined by her musical director and guitarist Watt White, keyboardist John Deley, bassist Lee Nadel and drummer Brian Fishler. $55-65 cover charge. $105-110 premium seating. $25 food and beverage minimum.
