54 Below

A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

A person with braided hair in a top knot sits on a green tufted couch. They wear a silky teal blazer with a pocket square. The wooden paneled wall and warm lighting create an elegant, modern atmosphere, reminiscent of an intimate live listening session for Antwayn Hopper’s debut album. Their expression is serious and composed.

“…the real show-stopping moment occurred when… [Elvis] Costello began trading off the lead vocal with A Strange Loop’s Antwayn Hopper, who… blew the roof off the place…” -Connor Ratliffe, SPIN Magazine

In her review of The Life at NYCC, Maya Phillips of the The New York Times says Antwayn Hopper “…has a bass voice with the richness of hot honey…,” and NYT’s Scott Heller says, “…his otherworldly bass-baritone was the thrilling answer… He was the standout…”

Join Broadway and two-time OBIE Award-winning phenom Antwayn Hopper for his 54 Below debut—a jubilant celebration of Broadway and Traditional Pop solos, and glorious mashups. With his uniquely expressive voice and unforgettable stage presence, Antwayn brings his signature blend of soul, panache, and storytelling to the stage. This one-night-only event features beloved Broadway classics like “Be A Lion,” “Promises, Promises,” “The Man That Got Away,” and “Being Alive” intertwined with Antwayn’s masterful and unique take on show tunes such as “My Way or the Highway,” “Wives and Lovers,” and more. November 30, 2026 promises to be an unparalleled revelation of Antwayn’s basso profundo vocal prowess!
