Phoenix Best: Year of Yes, feat. Talia Robinson & Reggie D. White!

September 7, 2025

Phoenix Best (Dear Evan Hansen, Les Misérables national tour) is returning to 54 Below with an all-new solo show that celebrates saying “yes”- to growth, to joy and to taking up space. Phoenix is stepping into her Year of Yes—inspired by Shonda Rhimes’ book—with an unforgettable night of music, storytelling, and soul. Blending her powerhouse vocals with heartfelt honesty, she’ll reintroduce herself through a dynamic set of Broadway favs, jazz hits and pop ballads that reflect the artist—and woman—she’s become. Expect bold reinterpretations, personal reflections, and a celebration of saying yes to your own spotlight.

Phoenix’s credits include: Broadway: Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple Revival. National Tour: Les Misérables (Eponine). Off-Broadway: Macbeth in Stride, Teeth, World Premier of A.D. 16, Olney Theatre Center (Mary). She has also been seen in TV shows such as “The Best Man: The Final Chapters” (Peacock) and “Love Life” (HBO Max).

Featuring special guests Talia Robinson (Dear Evan Hansen, Les Misérables national tour) and Reggie D. White (The Inheritance).

Music direction by Rashad McPherson.
