Nostalgic for the soulful days of Prohibition and the Great Depression? On June 13, Feinstein’s/54 Below, the popular Manhattan cabaret set below iconic theater/club Studio 54, will take you on a musical tour of the interwar period of American history, led by Vocally Aligned in their cabaret act “Speakeasy.” The group includes Ashley Ryan (Musical Director), Nazzaria Workman, Pedro Coppeti, and Nick Leigh. Showtime is 9:30pm but arrive early for cocktails and dinner.
Vocally Aligned will be performing familiar faves like “Just a Gigolo,” “Ain’t’ We Got Fun,” and “Hard Hearted Hannah” at 9:30pm, and tickets can be booked online at www.54Below.com.
