54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Killer Kabaret, a horror parody concert. Your favorite villains and horror icons are coming to the stage as never before! From Camp Crystal Lake to Elm Street and beyond the grave, you never know who (or what) might show up to perform! Like you, these characters have a wide taste in music, from Broadway to Disney to Rock and more! If you are a fan of horror and musical comedy, you won't want to miss this newly refreshed performance of Killer Kabaret, presented by Rainbow Sun Productions.

The event will be hosted by comedian Gianmarco Soresi, who was most recently a 2022 New Face at Just for Laughs. He is a stand up comedian, actor and writer based in New York City. He won critical acclaim for his stand-up special and documentary Shelf Life directed by Emmy Award winner Andy Buck, currently streaming on Amazon Prime. He is a trained actor whose film credits include the recent Billy Crystal/Tiffany Haddish film HERE TODAY and HUSTLERS opposite Jennifer Lopez. TV credits include BONDING for Netflix, DECEPTION and BLUE BLOODS. He is the host of the popular podcast THE DOWNSIDE and has hosted programs for IBM, MTV and General Electric.

The cast of talented performers includes Santiago Armos, Lauren Echausse, Ellis Gage, Caitlin Siobhan Hornick, Teresa Hui, Victoria Kingswood, Madeline Kunkowski, Tyler Martin, Katie Nail, Darius-Anthony Robinson, Eric Scherer, Dani Turner, and Ben Tracy. In addition to hosting and writing, Gianmarco Soresi will be performing in the production. The show is created and produced by Rainbow Sun Productions Co-Creators Eric Scherer and Katie Nail.

"Horror films play such an important part in cinematic history," says Director Eric Scherer. "However, horror musicals have also been enjoyed by audiences for decades." With classics like Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's Little Shop of Horrors, and even the infamous Carrie the Musical, horror stories have had a place on stage, but have not been explored to their full potential. "Our goal with this concert is to push the boundaries of musical theater and expand the amount of unique stories represented on stage," says Scherer.
