Smooth Operator: A Tribute to Sade featuring Alice Dan

September 19, 2025

Since their 1984 debut Diamond Life, soul and jazz icons Sade have captivated listeners with their multi-genre, immediately recognizable sound. Lead singer Sade Adu has led the band from their 1986 Grammy for Best New Artist to 2024’s single “Young Lion,” released in honor of her son, Izaak.

Cabaret performer Alice Dan (The Triad, Green Room 42, Bitter End) pays tribute to this inimitable sound in her 54 Below debut, recreating the original orchestrations in a wide-ranging set covering over three decades of Sade music including “Smooth Operator,” “Kiss of Life,” and “Like a Tattoo.” She will be joined by music director Ryan McCurdy (Broadway Cares), a five-piece band, and special guests from the worlds of cabaret and Broadway.

Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
