To celebrate Judy Garland’s 93rd birthday Seth Sikes will return to 54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, on Wednesday, June 10, to perform his critically-acclaimed show Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland, an evening of Garland’s most popular songs. Sikes returns to 54 Below after three previous sold-out appearances. And the critics are raving…
Liz Smith — “I told you recently about a young man, Seth Sikes, who has appeared at the NYC nightspot 54 Below, singing the songs of Judy Garland. I went off to see him last week and couldn’t have been more charmed. He’s young and handsome and enthusiastic. He doesn’t try to duplicate her sound. Sikes has boundless energy and a true, strong voice, with just the right amount of throb and drive and melancholy. The place was packed.”
BistroAwards.com — “Sikes’s voice is hardy, and he can belt out key musical phrases with impressive vivacity.”
Center on the Aisle — “In a packed room under colorful lights Sikes presented a fun,emotional night of songs. He sings with the energy and enthusiasm of the ultimate Judy fan, his excitement spilling through every note.”
Best known in the theater as an Assistant Director (The Nance, Tribes, Pageant), Sikes will perform with a seven-piece band to recount how Garland captivated him as a young boy in Paris, Texas, and to sing some of Garland’s greatest hits.
The evening was conceived by Seth Sikes and Tony-Award winning Lyricist Lisa Lambert, and will feature Music Direction by Gary Adler and orchestrations by Matt Aument.The evening is directed by Eric Gilliland.
