Join us at 54 Below for a scorching hot evening of the songs from the dynamic musical theatre writing duo and 2025 Jonathan Larson Grant Finalists Amara Janae Brady and Xander Browne!

The night will be full of stand alone songs and songs from their new musical, BaKed. Developed with the historic Apollo Theater and Drama Club Camp Productions, BaKed is an explosive reimagining of Cinderella’s story from a whole new perspective. Enter Amelia, the overworked and underappreciated baker who caters Prince Charming’s Ball. When the Crown fails to pay her, she blows up her life… and her home and ends up on a wild adventure with all the folks in this story who don’t get a happy ending as they learn to make happy beginnings of their own.

Performed by its writers Amara Janae Brady, Xander Browne, and some very special guests, this show is sure to make you get down… and then fight for revolution. Directed by Blayze Teicher and cast by Charlie Hano, CSA.

In collaboration with Breaking & Entering Theatre Collective.
