FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Dean Cestari in Here and Now on April 21st. Singing songs influenced by life’s ups-and-downs, Dean explores the milestone moments that shaped who he is and have left lasting impressions. Here and Now wittily and earnestly highlights the difficulty of finding who you are in the face of adversity while also celebrating the freedom and victory that comes from rising above. Dean is ecstatic to bring you on his journey from three-year-old boy skipping around the house dressed as Dorothy to starving artist living his dream in the big city. 
Here and Now is under the direction of Ari Axelrod and the musical direction of the brilliant Rodney Bush, with a guest performance from Emily Kay Shrader. Ari has presented his solo cabaret twice at Feinstein’s/54 Below under the direction of Faith Prince, and he recently appeared as Jamie in The Last Five Years at Weathervane Playhouse. Rodney is an established music director, conductor, orchestrator and educator working closely with artists such as Jay Armstrong Johnson, Eva Noblezada and Carmen Cusack, to name a few. Emily is a proud California hippie and graduate of Marymount Manhattan College who has most recently been seen touring North America, Japan and China as Sister Mary Robert in the National/International Tours of Sister Act.
