Join us at 54 Below for selections from Soundwall, A New Rock Musical. Sound Wall is a compelling musical drama that follows Andreas, a young musician in Phoenix struggling to balance the demands of impending fatherhood, a looming family business takeover, and his own aspirations for a music career.

His childhood friend Dax offers a potential escape by suggesting a move to Los Angeles, where they could both pursue their musical dreams. The opportunity sparks a conflict within Andreas between his existing commitments and the lure of his artistic ambitions.

The musical explores themes of personal responsibility, the impact of mental health on life choices, and the struggle between fulfilling personal desires and familial duties, all encapsulated in the metaphor of the “sound wall” that Andreas must ultimately break through to find his true path.

MORE ABOUT 54 BELOW

54 Below, a recipient of the 2022 TONY AWARDS® Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, is a non-profit organization with a mission to preserve the music of Broadway and expand the art of the cabaret while growing opportunities for diverse communities of emerging and established artists and providing unparalleled audience experiences.

It was founded as a place for the Broadway community to celebrate Broadway performers, both established and new, who sing not only the music of Broadway and the Great American Songbook, but also new material intended for Broadway and off-Broadway stages. One of the most in demand venues in the city presenting over 700 shows per year, the club features fine dining and superb scenic, lighting, and sound designs entirely imagined by Broadway designers. For performers, writers, musicians, and more, 54 Below gives opportunities to advance their craft, expand their repertoires, and develop their voices in a way that is more personal, making them stronger as artists.  It gives Broadway fans an opportunity to see their favorite artists in a different way, deepening their relationship and understanding of their talent.

54 Below celebrates Broadway musicals and writers of the past and present, promoting an ongoing engagement with their work. It is also a place for innovation in musical songwriting and performance. Collaborations born at 54 Below give rise to and help develop new theatrical projects and new musicals. In addition, its popular streaming video activities and audio recordings support these activities, helping to build a new Broadway audience worldwide, both in age and geography.

Located at 254 West 54th Street, the club presents live shows at 7pm and 9:30pm. Tickets and information at  54below.org.
