54 Below

A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

This November, Broadway and television star Andy Mientus will bring Joni Mitchell‘s iconic 1970 album Ladies of the Canyon to life at Feinstein’s/54 Below.

At 26 years old, Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded songs, drew album art, and hand wrote lyrics for the release of her third studio album, Ladies of the Canyon, which Rolling Stone hailed as “An album of departures, overheard conversations and unquiet triumphs for this hymnal lady who mingles the random with the particular so effectively.” Music director Benjamin Rauhala and Mientus will cover the album in full, stripping beloved songs such as “Big Yellow Taxi,” “Woodstock,” and “The Circle Game,” down to find the hymns inside these unquiet triumphs.

Featuring:
