A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

A man and woman with light skin and gray hair pose together, both resting their chins on their hands, against a starry black background. A gold abstract martini glass is on the left, and “LIVE FROM 54 BELOW” appears—featuring Alan & Marilyn Bergman love songs.

The Mabel Mercer Foundation presents a one-night-only celebration of the extraordinary songwriting partnership of Alan & Marilyn Bergman—the most beloved husband-and-wife team in American popular music. Their timeless lyrics have shaped generations of listeners, earning them three Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, four Emmy Awards and induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. From cherished classics like “The Way We Were,” “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?,” “The Windmills of Your Mind,” and “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” the Bergmans have defined the language of love for generations.

In tribute to their remarkable legacy, a cast of cabaret favorites gathers for an stellar evening honoring the Bergmans’ enduring contributions to the Great American Songbook. Performers include Karen Akers, Steven Brinberg, Michael-Demby Cain, Natalie Douglas, Bryan Eng, Eric Yves Garcia, Jeff Harnar, Ann Kittredge, Nicolas King, Karen Mason, Marieann Meringolo, Stephanie Pope, Craig Rubano, KT Sullivan, and Dorian Woodruff.

Presented as a gala benefit evening for The Mabel Mercer Foundation, whose mission for more than four decades has been to preserve and celebrate cabaret artistry and classic song interpretation, the event will include libations, a two-course dinner, and an intimate cabaret performance in the iconic setting of 54 Below. “Cabaret festive attire” is encouraged, and a livestream option will be available for audiences who wish to experience this tribute to the Bergmans’ luminous songs of love.

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.
