Join us for Secretly Strouse: A Treasure Trove of Hidden Charles Strouse Songs that have been hiding between the lead sheets of the Strouse songs you already know! … Until now.
Written with the same panache as the others in the Strouse catalogue, many of the songs in this evening are from the shows he wrote when no one was looking: Mayor, The New Golden Boy, Martin, Before the Dream, Dance A Little Closer, Real Men, and more. Like his well known songs, all are memorable Strouse tunes, but unlike the others, many have Strouse lyrics and of course, all have that lovable and infectious Strouse heart. You’ll hear songs that are hilariously funny (“The Day My Wife Got Sick”), fascinatingly politically incorrect (“You Can Be a New Yorker Too”), heartbreakingly tender (“What Am I Gonna Do Without You?”), and shockingly smart (“You Never Know“)… all secretly Strouse.
Yes, these songs have been well-kept musical secrets until director Jeffrey B. Moss (Mayor, The New Golden Boy, Rags) gathered Strouse-loving Broadway and cabaret singers to explore and rediscover them for this event. “Charles had a special place in his heart for these songs,” Moss says, “Even at 96, these were the songs he wanted to sing when we got together. He would be so happy to know that we can share them with everyone now.”
For sure there will be a lot of “happy faces” when these Strouse “secrets” are set free at 54 Below! Be there to share! Charles will be smiling.
Music direction by Harry Collins.
