BWW Reviews: JENNIFER SHEEHAN is 'Stardust' but Not Quite Golden in New Show at 54 Below
Evoking Rita Hayworth, a spot lit Jennifer Sheehan weaves through 54 Below towards the stage, long dark hair cascading above a body-skimming white gown replete with twinkling sequins. “I'll build a stairway to the stars . . .,” (Mitchell Parish/Matt Malneck/Frank Signorelli) she sings with stunning vocal clarity and investment that might conjure a Ziegfeld Girl.
In her new show, Stardust: A Night in the Cosmos, Sheehan welcomes the “dreamers, romantics, stargazers, astrophysicists, and Trekkies” with “songs that flicker like the street lamps of eternity” with lyrics featuring stars, moons, and rose-colored hope. It's an appealing theme and one that suits the artist's fetching performance and transition from ingénue into a more mature cabaret entertainer.

She has also been taking part in an NYU Sleep Study program for extra cash - unfortunately the drug they are testing has caused her to sleep walk. For the last 3 days, in her half conscious state, she has gone to her favorite place, the land of Westeros, where dragons fly and white walkers roam the north. Cherry, however, believes she is her hero, Olenna Tyrell, the murderous grandmother who (spoiler alert) just confessed to killing King Joffrey. The cast is playing along mostly because they are so happy that King Joffrey is dead, and they are just in the mood to party.
