Sarah Naughton's TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET Coming to Feinstein's/54 Below

New York based comedian, actress, and audio-book narrator Sarah Naughton (ABC's The View, Lincoln Center Theater) announces the return of her musical comedy show, Trapped In The Closet, to Feinstein's/54 Below on December 2nd, 2017 at 9:30pm.

Co-written and directed by Sarah Naughton and Jake Weinstein, Sarah stars in a musical adventure set inside her bedroom closet-turned-recording studio as she shares tales from the unsung world of audiobook narration. The show incorporates stand up comedy, dance, and immersive theater, all while maintaining the hallmarks of a traditional 54 Below show: Broadway quality singing and storytelling.

Back and better than ever, Trapped In The Closet provides a fun behind-the-scenes look at the making of audiobooks. Over 3.88 million audiobooks were downloaded in 2015, yet most people know little about what goes into recording them. In this wildly theatrical journey, Sarah pays homage to some of the most ridiculous - and spiciest - books she's ever been paid to read out loud. Sarah and the cast sing a selection of Broadway favorites, pop tunes, and original songs and raps. At its core, Trapped In The Closet is a show about the lengths passionate creatives are willing to go to achieve their dreams and learning to embrace every step along that path. The 75 minute adventure provides a night of musical storytelling that is as hilarious as it is personal and touching.

In addition to Sarah Naughton, the cast features Jake Weinsten (BAM, La Jolla Playhouse), Elizabeth McGuire (Founder & Co-Artistic Director at ToUch Performance Art), Maddy Apple (White Christmas National Tour, Goodspeed Opera House), Colette Dong (ToUch Performance Art), Will Melones (Empire), and Tristan Marzeski (The View UpStairs). Vishal Vaidya (Groundhog's Day, City Center Encores) guest stars. Trapped In The Closet was choreographed by Elizabeth McGuire.
