We had another show at 54 Below, and asked guest Jessica Phillips to sing a song from a “dream list.” Jessica chose to sing “Tell Me It’s Not True” from Blood Brothers with Sarah Ellis on the piano. Can you say revival?!
We had another show at 54 Below, and asked guest Cady Huffman to sing a song from a “dream list.” Cady chose to sing “As Long As He Needs Me” from Oliver! with Sarah Ellis on the piano. She’s amazing.
We had our first show at 54 Below and asked guest Julia Murney to sing a song from a “dream list.” Julia chose to sing ‘Waiting for Life’ from Once on this Island with back up by Amber Iman and Kevin David Thomas. It was everything.
We had our first show at 54 Below and asked guests Amber Iman and Julia Murney to sing songs from a “dream list,” including a list of duets. Amber and Julia chose to sing Agony from Into the Woods, and magic happened.

MORE ABOUT PATTY & EMILY
Patty & Emily came to New York separately with a love of musical theatre, sarcasm, and sass. They met in improv class at the Upright Citizens Brigade, forming an instant bond over how amazing Patti LuPone is, and eventually started a Vlog. Mixing their theatre knowledge with their snarky senses of humor, their Vlog soon gained attention from Tony nominees and Broadway producers. As special correspondents for Memphis, Patty & Emily interviewed the cast at the Tony after party and hosted the “Memmy Awards” for Memphis’s one year Broadway anniversary. Their comedy videos have been featured by Broadway musicals Newsies, Leap of Faith, and Lysistrata Jones.
MORE ABOUT 54 BELOW
54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, is the new performance venue in the grand tradition of New York City nightlife.

Its sultry after-hours ambience is enhanced by brocade-patterned wall panels planted with orange-shaded lanterns. And the atmosphere is warmer and sexier than in Manhattan’s other major supper clubs.” Located at 254 West 54th Street, 54 BELOW features up to three shows nightly with cover charges ranging from $15-$95.
