It’s no secret that karaoke is the national pastime of the Philippines. Many (if not all) of Broadway’s Filipino performers grew up singing karaoke in their household – and eventually made careers out of it! Making its return to 54 Below, Filipinos on Broadway celebrates the talents of the industry’s Pinoy artists. Featuring Broadway powerhouses and up-and-coming singers, this show will provide an exciting mix of pop ballads, musical theatre selections, R&B songs, and more. Watch as these singers bring their karaoke skills from the living room to the 54 Below stage, in celebration of Filipino American History Month! Music direction by Justin Ramos (Here Lies Love).

Featuring Ava Briglia (Matilda, School of Rock)!
When young pop sensation William Frankenstein is murdered, the family’s nanny is blamed. However, local high school loner Mary Sheldon knows there’s more to the story. Armed with a microphone and her own ambitions, she launches an investigative podcast to expose one Victor Frankenstein’s secrets, unraveling a tale of dark science, monsters and an alarming amount of preventable murder. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes she’s not only telling this story — she’s in it.
Featuring a book by Matt Cox (Puffs) and music & lyrics by Eli Bolin (Original Cast Album: Co-op), the new glam-rock tinged musical comedy True Crime Frankenstein (or the Modern, Modern Prometheus) makes its NYC debut in a starry, raucous concert that explores the eternal question: what makes a monster and what makes a man?
