FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents renowned critic/journalist/theatre historian Peter Filichia as he hosts a fun and trivia-rich evening of some of the best songs that were cut from some our most cherished musicals on their way to Broadway immortality. Hear songs cut (or unused) from Funny Girl, Gypsy, The Act, Golden Boy, Guys and Dolls, Chicago, Applause, A Chorus Line, and more, and the stories behind why they were relocated to the proverbial trunk.
