TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE: THE GREASE 50TH REUNION - JUNE 6 AT 7:00 PM

GREASE began as a Chicago community theatre production in a converted trolly barn and opened fifty years ago at the Eden Theater on Second Avenue in the East Village where it became one of the greatest success stories in American theater history! The musical has launched the careers of multiple actors who have gone on to great success. Tonight, Marilu Henner and James Canning (who both appeared in the original Chicago production, Broadway, First National Tour), bring together a stellar cast of performers who will sing and tell stories of the show that started small and grew into a worldwide phenomenon.

Join Marilu, Jim and fellow cast members Carole Demas, Ilene Kristen, Judy Kaye, Jim Jacobs, Tom Moore, Ken Waissman, Philip Casnoff, Bob Garrett, Ray DeMattis, Ellen March, Mews (Marya) Small, and other special surprise guests, as they share some of the greatest moments in the creation of one of the most iconic shows in Broadway history, soon to be a best-selling book!

Music direction by Michael Orland.

Eli Bolin HAS NO FRIENDS, FEAT. PAULA PELL, Shereen Pimentel, & MORE! - JUNE 6 AT 9:30 PM

This performance will also be livestreamed. For tickets and more information, click here.

Eli Bolin, Emmy-nominated composer of cult favorites Original Cast Album: Co-op and John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch, returns to Feinstein's/54 Below with an action-packed show featuring family and friends performing songs from his entire catalogue. There'll be deep cuts, pesky earworms, new songs from new shows, less new songs from less new shows, songs from cool TV stuff and podcasts, and a partridge in a pear tree.

In addition to the aforementioned collaborations with comedian John Mulaney, Eli is also co-writer of the musicals Found, Volleygirls, Skippyjon Jones and The Last Song of Eddie Scourge. You can listen to Bit Parade, the musical video game podcast he co-hosts with longtime friend and collaborator Mike Pettry, on your favorite podcatcher. Eli has written music for "Sesame Street" for over a decade, as well as "Animaniacs," "Difficult People," and the theme song for "Clifford the Big Red Dog" (no, not that one, the new one). He's the founding music director of Story Pirates and once pretended to play drums on "30 Rock." He thinks you are nice.

Featuring Ashley Blanchet, Jake Ryan Flynn, Julie Klausner, Andrew Kober, Chrissy Pardo, Paula Pell, Shereen Pimentel, Allison Posner, Jed Resnick, Ava Briglia and Zuri Washington.

$35 cover charge. $60 premium seating. $25 food & beverage minimum.

NEW WRITERS AT 54! Nikko Benson PRESENTS: ELSEWHERE, FEAT. Natalie Walker, Bonnie Milligan, & MORE! - JUNE 8 AT 9:30 PM

Join Nikko Benson for his Feinstein's/54 Below debut as he takes the stage and runs away with it, bringing you to forgotten and fantastical places. With the help of his impossibly talented friends, Nikko will take you on a journey from Where The Wild Things Are to Undersea Noir, through houses both Gingerbread and Haunted, past dinosaurs and zombie hordes - we'll go anywhere and everywhere, as long as it's somewhere else. We've all had enough of here, haven't we?

Nikko Benson is the Jonathan Larson Award-winning author of Nikola Tesla Drops The Beat (Adirondack Theater Festival) and Start Again (Musical Theater Factory). His songs have been featured in the Kennedy Center's Broadway: The Next Generation series and on Brian Stokes Mitchell's album Plays With Music. But be warned: the songs you'll hear at this one-night-only event will not be those songs. These songs will be new, never-before-heard, and certainly-not-ASCAP-approved. Attend at your own risk.

Featuring Ally Bonino, Latoya Edwards, Roe Hartrampf, Jared Loftin, Bonnie Milligan, Mia Pak, Sarah Beth Pfeiffer, Jon-Michael Reese, Heath Saunders, Natalie Walker, and Joel Waggoner.

Directed by Hunter Bird. Musical direction by Dan Garmon.

Seth Sikes returns to Feinstein's/ 54 Below with some very special guests to salute Judy Garland, the most iconic of all icons, on her 100th birthday to sing some of the legend's best-known songs.

His debut show, Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland, captured BroadwayWorld's Best Tribute Show award and The New York Times said, "The performance - less an impression of Ms. Garland than an interpretation of her vibrato-heavy method of belting - was a hit!"

On this very special evening Sikes will partner with an array of talent to perform some of Judy's duets which are instantly recognized and some of his guests will belt out their own versions of Judy's best-loved standards. Music direction by Mark Hartman, and orchestrations by Matt Aument, Neil Douglas Reilly, and Tedd Firth.

Featuring Charles Busch, Jeanna de Waal, Nia Drummond, and Max von Essen.
