54 Below, a recipient of the 2022 TONY AWARDS
®
Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, is a non-profit
organization with a mission to preserve the music of Broadway and expand the art of the cabaret while
growing opportunities for diverse communities of emerging and established artists and providing un-
paralleled audience experiences.
It was founded as a place for the Broadway community to celebrate Broadway performers, both estab-
lished and new, who sing not only the music of Broadway and the Great American Songbook, but also
new material intended for Broadway and off-Broadway stages. One of the most in demand venues in
the city presenting over 700 shows per year, the club features fine dining and superb scenic, lighting,
and sound designs entirely imagined by Broadway designers. For performers, writers, musicians, and
more, 54 Below gives opportunities to advance their craft, expand their repertoires, and develop their
voices in a way that is more personal, making them stronger as artists. It gives Broadway fans an op-
portunity to see their favorite artists in a different way, deepening their relationship and understanding
of their talent.
54 Below celebrates Broadway musicals and writers of the past and present, promoting an ongoing
engagement with their work. It is also a place for innovation in musical songwriting and performance.
Collaborations born at 54 Below give rise to and help develop new theatrical projects and new musi-
cals. In addition, its popular streaming video activities and audio recordings support these activities,
helping to build a new Broadway audience worldwide, both in age and geography.
Located at 254 West 54th Street, the club presents live shows at 7pm and 9:30pm. Tickets and infor-
mation at 54below.org.
