FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Oyoyo Joi (The Book Of Mormon–Broadway) as cellist Mariana, Lisa O’Hare (A Gentleman’s Guide To Love And Murder–Broadway) as producer Celia Webb, and Emily Padgett (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory–Broadway; Bright Star–Broadway) as Nashville musician Lucinda in Session Girls on March 6, 2018, 9:30PM. A raucous and heartfelt evening of original tunes about three working women in the music industry, Session Girls gives us the inside scoop on music-producer-in-training Joli Nye (Lauren Worsham), bawdy backup vocalist Cocoa (Lesli Margherita), classical cellist Mariana (Oyoyo Joi), and their trials and tribulations as they navigate the music world, their love lives, and the untenable travail of a big studio merger!
Session Girls is brimming with original witty, charming and memorable tunes like “Painfully Self-Aware”, “Miss Manners Got It Wrong”, “You’re Never A Shoe-In”, “If You Wanna Make Dough On A Show”, “I’m A Producer (And You’re Not)”, “I Dreamt Of You”, “We Should All Just Be Excellent”, “Johnny Doesn’t Live Here Any More”, the award-winning “Nothing To Brag About”, and more—the night will be a foot-stomping, booth-romping blast!

Grammy® and Tony® Award-winning Broadway Records President Van Dean will co-produce. Grammy®- and Tony® Award-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning Michael J. Moritz, Jr. is Music Director.
