Feinstein’s/54 Below, in association with the Musical Theatre department at the New York Film Academy, presents NYFA FACULTY SHOW! FEATURING KRISTY CATES, TODD BUONOPANE, & MORE on May 21st, 2017 at 9:30 PM.
Seventy-five Broadway Artists. One School.
The musical theatre department at the New York Film Academy was launched in 2009 with nine students in the first class. Eight years later, hundreds of students have studied musical theatre at NYFA, with our full-time enrollment hitting 72 this Spring. The school’s mission is to teach techniques being used every night on Broadway… and their faculty is the backbone of the Great White Way!
In honor of this, Feinstein’s/54 Below will present NYFA’s first-ever Faculty Show – a celebration of the school’s journey and a preview of their future. From Gershwin to Sondheim, to original works from faculty composers like Bobby Cronin, Daniel Lincoln, and Zoe Sarnak, this will be a concert to remember!
Performers include Kristy Cates (Wicked, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory), Todd Buonopane (Cinderella, …Spelling Bee), Lauren Elder (Hair, Side Show), Christiana Cole, Bobby Cronin, Christine De Frece, William Demaniow, Jordan Neil Dragutsky, Daniel Lincoln, T.J. Mannix, Jessica Myhr, Seth Reich, Zoe Sarnak, and Wysandria Woolsey (Beauty & The Beast, Parade). The evening’s festivities will be hosted by 54 Below regular, Rob Maitner.
The concert is directed by Robert W. Schneider. Joshua Zecher-Ross is the evening’s musical director, with Jordan Neil Dragutsky producing.
