54 Sings Ballroom
September 4, 2018
To commemorate its 40th anniversary, Feinstein’s/54 Below is bringing back, for one night only, the acclaimed Tony nominated musical Ballroom.
Based on the CBS television movie The Queen of the Stardust Ballroom, Ballroom tells the story of aging widow Bea Asher who meets middle-aged mailman Al Rossi at the Stardust Ballroom. When Bea discovers Al is married she is forced to choose between her head and her heart.
