Feinstein's/54 Below, in association with the Musical Theatre department at the New York Film Academy, presented NYFA FACULTY SHOW! featuring Kristy Cates, Todd Buonopane and more on May 21st, 2017, and BroadwayWorld has photos from the concert below!

Seventy-five Broadway Artists. One School. The musical theatre department at the New York Film Academy was launched in 2009 with nine students in the first class. Eight years later, hundreds of students have studied musical theatre at NYFA, with full-time enrollment hitting 72 this Spring. The school's mission is to teach techniques being used every night on Broadway... and their faculty is the backbone of the Great White Way!

In honor of this, Feinstein's/54 Below presented NYFA's first-ever Faculty Show - a celebration of the school's journey and a preview of their future. From Gershwin to Sondheim, to original works from faculty composers like Bobby Cronin, Daniel Lincoln, and Zoe Sarnak, this was a concert to remember!

Performers included Kristy Cates (Wicked, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory), Todd Buonopane (Cinderella, ...Spelling Bee), Lauren Elder (Hair, Side Show), Christiana Cole, Bobby Cronin, Christine De Frece, William Demaniow, Jordan Neil Dragutsky, Daniel Lincoln, T.J. Mannix, Jessica Myhr, Seth Reich, Zoe Sarnak, and Wysandria Woolsey (Beauty & The Beast, Parade).

The evening's festivities were hosted by 54 Below regular, Rob Maitner. The concert was directed by Robert W. Schneider. Daniel Lincoln was the evening's musical director, with Jordan Neil Dragutsky producing.
