54 Loves Cast Albums! 3rd Edition

October 4, 2026

Please join us for the third edition of 54 Loves Cast Albums!, a celebration of the recording medium that has preserved and popularized the scores of countless musicals over the decades. As this edition of the show will be presented during the 250th anniversary year of the birth of the United States, we will have a special section focusing on songs from musicals that are notable examples of Americana, including such titles as Oklahoma!, 1776, Ragtime, and Hamilton.

Our stellar cast is headed by two-time Tony Award® nominee Josie de Guzman (Guys and Dolls, West Side Story), Broadway veteran Jay Aubrey Jones (Cats, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying), international concert, cabaret, and musical theater star Ben Jones, world-famous Barbra Streisand tribute artist Steven Brinberg, and Sirius XM radio host Christine Pedi, plus Joe O’Malley, Samantha Chiodo, and BJ High from the recent Ghostlight Players/CSI 250th anniversary production of 1776, with a special guest appearance by the eminent cast album producer Thomas Z. Shepard.

This show is being directed and hosted by Michael Portantiere, with Michael Lavine as musical director/pianist.

Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
