Seth Sikes, whose show Seth Sikes Is Still Singing Judy Garland celebrates some of Garland's most popular songs, is returning for a fourth time to 54 Below, after three sold-out concerts, and will welcome popular singer Trevor McQueen to help commemorate Garland's 93rd birthday on Wednesday, June 10th.
Best known in the theater as an Assistant Director (on shows like The Nance, Tribes,and Pageant), Sikes gets on the stage this time with a seven-piece band to recount how Garland captivated him as a young boy in Paris,TX, and to sing some of her greatest hits.
Trevor McQueen is a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and made his Broadway debut as Little Jake in the revival of Annie Get Your Gun. He is a frequent headliner at Birdland in NYC, having appeared as the frontman of a 17-piece big band.
Seth Sikes Is Still Singing Judy Garland was conceived by Seth Sikes and Tony-Award winning Lyricist Lisa Lambert, and will feature Music Direction by Gary Adler and orchestrations by Matt Aument. The evening is directed by Eric Gilliland.
Liz Smith recently said, "I told you recently about a young man, Seth Sikes, who has appeared at the NYC nightspot 54 Below, singing the songs of Judy Garland. I went off to see him last week and couldn't have been more charmed. He's young and handsome and enthusiastic. He doesn't try to duplicate her sound. Sikes has boundless energy and a true, strong voice, with just the right amount of throb and drive and melancholy. The place was packed."
