“A wonderful musician and an even more wonderful human being” – Carolina Rial, recording artist and Team Legend on “The Voice”
“James has a special touch with music and is able to make music sound like more than just the notes that you see on sheet music.” – Senzel Ahmady, Jasmine in Disney’s Aladdin 2nd North American tour.
“That’s my best friend!” – Morgan Dudley, Disney’s Descendents: The Rise of Red.
Multihyphenate composer, arranger, and music director extraordinaire James Stryska is returning to 54 Below… for the 54th time!
Recounting iconic and heartfelt moments from their previous 53 concerts, come witness a setlist of James’s greatest hits from concerts like 54 Sings: The Glee Version and the Now That’s What I Call Broadway! series. Featuring some of the 500+ people James has worked with ranging from Broadway actors, West End actors, and his former lovers… this concert will feature original arrangements, some original music, and stuff you can only hear when Stryska is at the keys.
Plus, it’s June and he’s queer… so be an ally! Don’t be homophobic!
