The Songs of Josh Freilich and Kate Chadwick
December 9, 2017
Feinstein’s/54 Below debut! Join us for an evening of story songs from exciting emerging writers Josh Freilich and Kate Chadwick. You’ll hear work from their collaboration at Barrington Stage (Butterflies, a musical about Kate’s terrifying youth in ballet, directed by Graciela Daniele) and from their musicals developed for the University of California, Irvine’s Satellite Program (By The Breath Of Southern Fire, a comedy about nerds at ComicCon and Excuse Me, a song cycle about how no one ever talks to each other in New York… Why not!?). Josh will be at the piano playing his own songs and Kate will host a cast of Broadway and cabaret’s best (who have promised to act the heck out of this night of new work).
Featuring:
Michelle Coben (The Wizard of Oz at The Muny)
Maya Keleher (Next to Normal at TheaterWorks Hartford)
Beth Kirkpatrick (Les Miserables)
Michael Linden (Spring Awakening National Tour)
Patty Nieman (The Awakening of Angel DeLuna at NYMF)
Fergie Philippe (Parade at Merry Go Round Playhouse)
Amanda Savan (Peter Panic)
Morgan Weed (American Psycho)
The work of Freilich and Chadwick has been praised and championed by William Finn and Graciela Daniele, and the team has received several commissions. Their songs have been heard at concert venues all over the city.
