"We are so excited to see Shaun's show sell-out this quickly, literally within five minutes of release", said the event producer, Louis Hobson of Indie Theatrical. "It's a testament to the enduring impact he's had on his fans, something that hit home for me when I first saw his show last year. Along the way to becoming a brilliant writer and storyteller, Shaun has never lost that indescribable thing that made him a pop culture icon. He's found a way to marry everything he is into an often-irreverent evening that not only delivers some great music, but offers substance, humor and pathos in a singular way."

"Returning to the heart of New York - the theater district - to perform at 54 Below is a dream come true," Mr. Cassidy shared. "I spent half my childhood in the city watching my parents on Broadway. Before becoming a writer/producer in television, I enjoyed my final performance as an actor at the Music Box in Blood Brothers. This all feels like a full-circle homecoming to me, and I can't wait to share the experience." Mr. Cassidy's show, The Magic of a Midnight Sky, is a funny and deeply personal musical exploration of Mr. Cassidy's life, career, and family. Through songs and storytelling, he offers a compelling showbiz survival tale, sharing his life as a teen idol, and affectionate memories of his father, Tony Award® winner Jack Cassidy, his Academy Award®-winning mother Shirley Jones, and his late brother, David.

Mr. Cassidy exploded onto the scene as a singer and actor in the late 1970s with one of the biggest selling solo debuts in history. While receiving a Grammy® nomination for Best New Artist (and opening the Grammy Awards® show itself), he starred in the ABC television series, The Hardy Boys Mysteries. During his Broadway run in the hit musical Blood Brothers, Shaun wrote his first television pilot, American Gothic, which The New York Times called "The most original new show of the season." He quickly evolved into a prolific creator of television drama, enjoying a writing and producing career that includes shows like Roar (starring Heath Ledger), Cold Case, Cover Me, The Agency, Invasion, and Emerald City. Most recently, Mr. Cassidy served as executive producer and writer for the hit series, New Amsterdam, which is currently the number one series on Netflix. In 2019, in collaboration with No Kid Hungry, Mr. Cassidy successfully introduced a collection of fine wines, My First Crush, which donates money to feed hungry children nationwide.
