A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

A man with short, curly brown hair and light stubble smiles softly at the camera. He is wearing a blue button-up shirt. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with soft, natural light.

Ben Jeffrey was raised in Kansas City, Missouri, but has found a home in Queens, where he lives with the two greatest women in the world, namely his wife & daughter. After graduating from Abilene Christian University, where he earned a BFA in acting and musical theater, Ben attended the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, earning his Masters in Acting in 2009. In 2010, Ben began performing as Pumbaa in Disney’s The Lion King on Broadway, a role he has now performed more than 5000 times and continues to love. Other Broadway credits include Disney’s Aladdin (Babkak), and TV credits include “Law & Order SVU,” “FBI,” “The Blacklist,” “Orange is the New Black,” “Madam Secretary,” and others. Ben is ever grateful for a life as a storyteller.

The image features the logo of "54 Below," a renowned cabaret and dining club. The logo uses an elegant serif font with the number "54" prominently displayed and the word "BELOW" situated underneath. The text is gold on a dark brown background with a gold border surrounding the design.
