A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

Broadway Swinger celebrates the classic songs that hit the American stage in the 1960s, a decade that started out buttoned-up but soon tossed aside all inhibitions. Broadway musicals paralleled America’s shifting attitudes toward love and sex as Oliver! (1963) gave way to Sweet Charity (1966) and to Hair (1968). Benjamin Eakeley and his groovy band perform iconic songs from this fabulous era in a swingin’ show that explores life, love and everything in between.

Benjamin Eakeley has appeared on Broadway in the revivals of Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, and he will appear in the upcoming revival of She Loves Me at Studio 54. In 2014 Time Out New York named him one of “The 10 Hottest Chorus Boys Opening in Broadway Musicals This Spring,” and he was later photographed in the December issue of Vanity Fair alongside Emma Stone and Alan Cumming. He played Pennsatucky’s doctor in Season One of Orange Is The New Black and has appeared in seven films, including The Good Shepherd and the upcoming The Erotic Fire of the Unattainable. He has also been a national finalist in the Lotte Lenya Competition for Singers. Broadway Swinger marks his solo cabaret debut in New York.

The band will be music directed by James Olmstead and will include piano, bass, drums and sax.
