Rotten to the 54: A Night of Spooks, Songs, and Spells

October 26, 2025

Calling all wicked queens, mischievous sidekicks, and descendants of evil — Rotten to the 54 is a brand-new Halloween cabaret full of magic, mayhem, and musical mischief.

Featuring songs from your favorite animated classics and movie musicals — including spooky hits from a certain coven of 1693 witches, enchanted high schools, and the darker side of the fairytale universe — this concert is packed with nostalgia, iconic bops, and just a dash of poison apple flair.

Performed by a cast of NYC’s fiercest vocalists, this night of spooks, songs, and spells is a celebration of the villains we love, the rebels we rooted for, and the characters who made being bad look so good.

Costumes encouraged. Magic guaranteed.

Produced by Luke Gilmore and Ginger Snap Theatrics.

Directed by Aly Marie Mazzie.

Music direction by Aidan S. Wells.
