54 Below

A Nonprofit Cabaret Venue

Six black silhouettes of people standing and dancing under large, bold red marquee-style text reading, “SONGS I’M NOT OLD ENOUGH TO SING YET.” Several figures hold microphones as they celebrate songs they’re not old enough to sing. The background is plain white.

Songs I’m Not Old Enough to Sing Yet

August 6, 2025

Join us at 54 Below for a celebration of Broadway’s mothers, divas, grandparents, kings and queens, and characters of *ahem* mature age! We are an army of character actors and “children who are mature for their age” who want to perform the songs in our books before we age into the characters who sing them. NYU Tisch Grad Sara Gordon is proud to produce and direct her second show at 54 Below. Come celebrate the crotchety, the aging, the cynical, the wise, and the breaking down.

Music direction by Nick Benefield.
