Loni Ackerman to Lead 70, GIRLS, 70 Concert at Feinstein's/54 Below Next Spring

Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, presents 70, Girls, 70: In Concert on Monday, April 17th, 2017 at 7:00PM.

Produced and Directed by Steven Carl McCasland (Onward Victoria, Charlie and Algernon, Eating Raoul), the 1971 Kander and Ebb-tuner by will take to the famed venue's on Monday, April 17th at 7:00pm with a starry cast led by Loni Ackerman (George M!, Evita and more).

Some "old folks sit around by the television set with a comforter petulant as they can get..." But in 70, Girls, 70, they live a life of adventure! Beloved songwriters John Kander and Fred Ebb (Chicago, The Visit) joined forces once again with Joe Masterhoff (Cabaret) and new comer Norman L. Martin to create a musical about those adventurous "old folk". The tuner concerns the residents of The New Sussex Arms. When these adventurous old folks discover their Upper West Side retirement home is being sold, they vow to do whatever it takes to stop the sale. Even if that means they have to steal! Based on Peter Coke's play Breath of Spring, 70, Girls, 70 shuffled its way onto Broadway in 1971.

This spring, a cast of theatre veterans have all said "Yes!" and will come together to sing this delightful score.

Ackerman will lead a starry cast of Broadway babies including Karin Baker (George M!, Coco), Britt Cryer (Shelter, The Desert Song), David Cryer (1776, Chess, Phantom of the Opera), Nancy Fox (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), Don Johanson (Jelly's Last Jam, The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public), JoAnn Mariano (The Patty Duke Show), Patti Mariano (Original Broadway Cast of The Music Man, I Had A Ball, George M!, The Full Monty and more), Joyce Nolen (Smile, Stop The World I Want To Get Off) and more to be announced!

The evening is presented by the team that brought Onward Victoria, Charlie and Algernon, and Eating Raoul to New York's hottest supper club, with Musical Direction by James Horan and Direction by Steven Carl McCasland.
