Once Every Hundred Years: A Song Cycle by William Finn & Danny Ursetti
November 16 & 17, 2025
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.
