“Harewood is an undeniable star. He made me burst into tears on three separate occasions – none harder than during his gut-wrenching performance of “Iron in the Fridge” and I seldom cry at Broadway shows.” – Entertainment Weekly

Tony^® Award nominee Dorian Harewood makes his 54 Below and New York City solo concert debut with Songs from the Brill Building. The multi-talented star of The Notebook The Musical recently returned to Broadway after a 45-year hiatus. His previous Broadway credits include Two Gentlemen of Verona, Don’t Call Back, The Mighty Gents, and Streamers.

“The Brill Building is where some of the most popular American songs were written. It is considered to have been the center of the American music industry that dominated the pop charts in the early 1960s. These are but a few of the wonderful songs written by this supremely talented group of writers. These are: Songs from the Brill Building.” – Dorian Harewood

Music direction by Tony Daniels.
