Burt Bacharach won three Oscars, six Grammys, and an Emmy. A measure of his influence is the fact that his songs are associated with more than 1,000 recording artists. In the U.S. alone, he had 73 top 40 hits. Writing mostly with lyricist Hal David, Burt Bacharach was an extraordinary talent who left us on February 8th at the age of 94. But his music lives on…
Here, at 54 Below, we will honor Mr. Bacharach with this special evening devoted to his story and his songs. This concert event will star a galaxy of musical theater and nightclub stars gathered together to perform Mr. Bacharach’s timeless hits, including “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Close to You,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Walk on By,” and so many others!
The Burt Bacharach tribute concert will be produced, directed, written, and hosted by NYC impresario Scott Siegel, who has created more than 500 major musical theater concert events that have been performed all over the world. He has produced, written and directed concerts for Michael Feinstein, but his perhaps best known as the creator, writer, director, and host of the landmark concert series Broadway by the Year for 21 years at New York’s legendary The Town Hall. Music direction by Ron Abel.
