Known for his unique, eclectic vocals, in his new show, @Tyce is just Tyce, he explores his roots in musical theatre and a little bit of rock that's influenced his career, but more importantly, it's finally his chance to do everything he loves, so expect it all: classics, contemporary, gender-bending, 60-second musicals, and a Patti LuPone impression that would make Patti herself look twice.

VOLUME 2, JANUARY 2 AT 7PM: Volume 1 of this Scott Siegel Concert Event hit Feinstein's/54 Below like lightning. Though it took place on a night a hurricane was supposed to hit New York City, it sold out anyway because this was the show that every musical theater-lover had been waiting for. And now we're going to do it again, with a brand new line-up of Broadway's Greatest Hits! If you skip through cast albums just to hear the very best songs in each show, this is the nightclub concert event for you. If you love the classics of the Great White Way, come and hear the songs that made Broadway great, that made your heart soar, that you used to sing (maybe still do) in the shower. But at Feinstein's/54 Below, you will hear the greatest Broadway songs of all time performed by today's greatest stars, singing them straight up, the way you want to hear them. And who better to produce/direct/host this show than the creator of Town Hall's critically acclaimed Broadway by the Year series, Scott Siegel, creator of more than 200 major concert events centered on Broadway music!

BENJAMIN EAKELEY, JANUARY 3 AT 7PM: Broadway Swinger celebrates the classic songs that hit the American stage in the 1960s, a decade that started out buttoned-up but soon tossed aside all inhibitions. Broadway musicals paralleled America's shifting attitudes toward love and sex as Oliver! (1963) gave way to Sweet Charity (1966) and to Hair (1968). Benjamin Eakeley and his groovy band perform iconic songs from this fabulous era in a swingin' show that explores life, love and everything in between. Benjamin Eakeley has appeared on Broadway in the revivals of Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, and he will appear in the upcoming revival of She Loves Me at Studio 54. In 2014 Time Out New York named him one of "The 10 Hottest Chorus Boys Opening in Broadway Musicals This Spring," and he was later photographed in the December issue of Vanity Fair alongside Emma Stone and Alan Cumming. He played Pennsatucky's doctor in season one of Orange Is The New Black and has appeared in seven films, including The Good Shepherd and the upcoming The Erotic Fire of the Unattainable. He has also been a national finalist in the Lotte Lenya Competition for Singers. Broadway Swinger marks his solo cabaret debut in New York. The band will be music directed by James Olmstead and will include piano, bass, drums and sax. $35-45 cover charge. $80 premium seating. $25 food and beverage minimum.
