BWW Review: Feinstein's/54 Below Celebrated the Birthday of an Icon with 54 SINGS DOLLY PARTON

Is there a better way to celebrate the birth of one of the greatest living songwriters than with song itself? I think not. And Feinstein's/54 Below clearly felt the same last night when it brought some of Broadway's greatest voices together to celebrate the birthday of one Miss Dolly Parton. The woman who gave us 'I Will Always Love You', 'Jolene', '9 to 5' and so much more is not only one of the greatest singers, songwriters, and entertainers of all time, but one of those rare artists who has the ability to reach across barriers and touch everyone from drag queens, to Middle America, to the mass public, and bring them all together in celebration of beautiful music.
Dee Roscioli, Nicole Vanessa Ortiz, and More Join 54 SINGS DOLLY PARTON

Dee Roscioli (Wicked, The Cher Show), Nicole Vanessa Ortiz (Smokey Joe's Café), Ben Clark (The Circus in Winter, Skin and Bones), Gregory Driscoll (Fab The Duo), Victoria Huston-Elem (Finding Neverland), Jenna Najjar (54 Sings Ed Sheeran), Marissa Rosen (Kristin Chenoweth: For The Girls), Ian Shain (Dolly Parton's Smokey Mountain Christmas Carol), Pearl Sun (Come From Away), Kuhoo Verma (Octet), Sarah Warrick (Kristin Chenoweth: My Love Letter to Broadway), Jacob Keith Watson (Carousel, Violet), and Eli Zoller (First Date) round off the cast of 54 Sings Dolly Parton at Feinstein's/54 Below, Sunday, January 19th, 2020 at 7:00PM & 9:30PM.

Artist Take Action! is a not-for-profit organization created by artists, for artists, to benefit arts education in inner-city public schools.

Artists scheduled to perform include accomplished New York based rockers, Ryness; pop-mod-rock band, The Academics; singer/songwriter, Alex Brumel; spoken word and hip-hop artist, Matt Sax; singer/songwriter, Maddy Wyatt and the electronic sounds of DJ Kyle Sullivan, amongst others. The concert will kick off Monday, November 10th at 8 p.m. at New York City's Sullivan Hall (Sullivan St. between West 3rd and Bleecker St.). All proceeds will go to The Striking Viking Story Pirates for their work in furthering arts education in New York's inner-city public school system. Artists Take Action! Founder and Co-Producer, Eli Zoller, along with Co-Producer, Michael Kohn, say of their motivation for launching the benefit, 'Good art with good intentions is getting ignored, as are the children in our public schools who are lacking a decent arts education.
