Grammy Award nominee Clint Holmes – the consummate entertainer, writer, performer, recording artist, and one of the country’s finest vocalists – is back for an encore performance of his brand-new concert event celebrating the songs of the legendary Peter Allen, with special guest Nikki Renée Daniels.
Join Clint as he unleashes his ferocious talent in the show of a lifetime co-created with and directed by award-winning director, WILL NUNZIATA (concert director for Tony Award® winner Lillias White and Platinum recording artist Jackie Evancho, director of Broadway-bound musical Little Black Book) with musical direction and arrangements by Michael Orland (“American Idol”).
Between the Moon and New York City will traverse the songbook of Peter Allen and how it relates to not only Clint’s story but to all of us.
“Clint’s talent is boundless and he’s one of the most magnetic performers I have ever witnessed and worked with,” states Nunziata, who co-conceived the concert with Holmes and directs the show. “He is peerless when it comes to his acting, singing, and storytelling, and he also has a danger about him. Clint enters the stage and the molecules of the theatre change.”
“I cannot wait to bring this show across the country and around the world to celebrate the memory and legacy of Peter Allen,” Holmes adds. “The show’s messages of love, family, hope, and pure fun are universal messages that are needed to be felt now more than ever.”
Additional arrangements by Bill Fayne.
Produced by Sunny Sessa.

Amber Gray, known for Broadway’s The Great Comet of 1812, Hadestown, and Sam Gold’s Macbeth, makes her 54 Below and New York City solo concert debut. Gray grew up singing in the Come-All Choirs of school and church. These communities instilled her love for making sound and taught her singing is a human right and deeply therapeutic art, but the goal was to blend. It wasn’t until adulthood that she was encouraged, perhaps forced, to sing solo. This evening will journey through songs that gave Gray a voice, songwriters who enabled Gray’s musical theatre career, and samplings of upcoming work including Gray’s Eartha Kitt project and her post retirement, seedy lounge singer fantasy.
$65 cover charge ($73 with fees). $105-$110 premium seating ($117-$122.50 with fees). $25 food & beverage minimum.
