Join us for a brand new show from Broadway legend and 54 Below favorite Lee Roy Reams!
The New York Times has called Lee Roy “Broadway’s song & dance man non pareil.” His November 18th show is all about his eight year run in the Broadway smash 42nd Street. Lee Roy will regale audiences with songs as well as intimate stories about being there firsthand for the glorious musical that brought audiences “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re In The Money,” “Go Into Your Dance,” and so much more. From his initial audition to his rehearsals with Gower Champion and the historic opening night when producer David Merrick announced Gower’s death, Lee Roy will take 54 Below audiences on the full journey of naughty, gaudy, bawdy 42nd Street. The evening will include personal never before seen photos and videos of the production numbers. So come & meet those dancing feet. On the avenue we’re taking you to….42ND STREET!!
