Broadway Originals
Jun 13 & Jul 17, 2026
For each Broadway Originals show, a glittering array of theater stars will be assembled by producer/writer/host Scott Siegel with the express purpose of singing the songs that they performed in their original Broadway productions. During the course of this series, decades upon decades of Broadway history will be on glorious display on the 54 Below stage, when stars from the 20th and 21st centuries return to sing the songs that made (and make) the Great White Way great.
In this historic nightclub concert event, the history of Broadway will be re-lived when actors from the opening night casts of Broadway shows or the from the first casts of Broadway revivals once again sing the songs that thrilled audiences when they were performed on the New York stage. And hear their personal stories about introducing those songs or bringing them, for the first time, to a new generation. As the announcer for the Lone Ranger might say, “Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear” and hear not only the great songs of Broadway, but hear them sung by the actors and actresses who made them famous in the first place.
Scott Siegel created/wrote/hosted Broadway Originals for The Town Hall, where it was that legendary institution’s gala annual concert for half-a-dozen years. Now, for the first time, Mr. Siegel is bringing this much-beloved and famous concert series from a theater that seats 1,500 people to the intimate surroundings of 54 Below. The opportunity to witness the glory of Broadway, up close and personal, has never been more reachable.
