54 Below

A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

A colorful grid of small squares evokes a song cycle, with numbers, math symbols, and large black letters spelling “ONCE EVERY HUNDRED YEARS.” Square colors—green, orange, gray, yellow, white, and peach—bring a vibrant William Finn energy.

Once Every Hundred Years: A Song Cycle by William Finn & Danny Ursetti

November 16 & 17, 2025

The performance on November 17 will also be livestreamed. For tickets and more information, click here.

54 Below is honored to present the New York premiere of Once Every Hundred Years by two-time Tony Award® winner William Finn (Falsettos, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, A New Brain) with music by Danny Ursetti (Regretting Almost Everything). Like all things Finn, this new song cycle about life, love, aging, and art set against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic is furious and funny, outrageous and intimate, always surprising, and surprisingly moving. Join us for this unique opportunity to be among the first to hear this final work by the beloved and truly singular William Finn.

Directed by Joe Calarco with music direction by Benji Goldsmith and orchestrations by Michael Starobin.

Produced by Lauren Kahane.
