Broadway and A Cappella stars come together for a special performance of classic and contemporary theatre songs, Broadway Goes A Cappella, on Monday, January 23rd at 7 PM at Feinstein’s/54 Below, Broadway’s Supper Club. The show features Sara Wordsworth (Writer/Creator In Transit), Barry Carl (Rockapella; Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego), Harrison Chad (Caroline, Or Change; Beauty and the Beast), Katrina Rose Dideriksen (Hairspray; A Night with Janis Joplin), Adam Roberts (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark; Pippin), Brian Charles Rooney (The Threepenny Opera, Bedbugs!!!), Adam Bashian (In Transit; The Phantom of the Opera), and the cast of In Transit.
The show’s conceiver and music director, Evan Feist, says, “Imagine your favorite Broadway songs reinvented, but just with our voices. No instruments. We don’t need anything more than each other to spread harmony… we’ve got more parts than a barbershop.” Feist has been working in a cappella since he was 16 years old and he has vocal coached for NBC’s The Voice, worked for America’s Got Talent, and teaches a cappella workshops all over the country with his company, Creative Vocal Lab. In 2014, the New York Musical Theatre Festival presented him with the Outstanding Musical Direction and Outstanding Arrangements awards for A Cappella: the musical. Director Pat Cerasaro’s credits include collaborating with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman on the New York City premiere of their musical Whistle Down The Wind as well as a series of unprecedented special concert events created with Steinman at Feinstein’s/54 Below including Total Eclipse, Paradise Found and Steinman Stripped.
