LIVESTREAM | Christine Oczkus: A Tall Drink of Me

STREAMS LIVE NOVEMBER 24, 2025 AT 9:45PM ET

This event is being streamed online. To purchase tickets for the in-person event, click here.

After making her 54 Below debut in Return to Woodstock, Christine “Steen” Oczkus returns to 54 Below with her highly anticipated solo debut, A Tall Drink Of Me, a show that boldly embraces the idea that we are never just one thing.

The 6-foot, Manhattan-based musical theater artist and model will be showcasing her signature powerhouse vocals through a genre-spanning setlist of Broadway anthems, jazz standards, and pop favorites. Christine will share her deeply personal journey of self-discovery from heartbreak and healing to empowerment and purpose. Backed by a gifted band led by the incredible Mike Stapleton (Floyd Collins) this show is about using the weight of love and loss as momentum toward your dreams. Vulnerable, powerful, and unapologetically herself, Christine invites audiences to celebrate the beauty of becoming—and the strength it takes to stand tall. This cabaret is equal parts glamor, grit, vocal gold, and a guaranteed grand ol’ time. Produced by Maggie Bergman.

Christine Oczkus is a rising star making waves in both the New York theater and modeling worlds. With one foot in the studio and the other on the stage, she’s spent years navigating the delicate balance between two creative passions—only to realize she doesn’t have to choose. Christine began modeling when she was scouted while working as a server by her now mentor, Mark de Paola, in 2023. Since then, she has been blessed to shoot with many well-known artists, including celebrity photographer Mark Mann. She is a proud graduate of Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Follow along at @christineoczkus.

Live from 54 Below is a new series featuring streams of LIVE performances direct from Broadway’s Living Room! Designed to make more shows accessible to fans from across the globe and to recreate the live experience, all shows will be presented exclusively at the time of performance with an in-house audience and will not be available on demand afterwards.
