Broadway at Birdland, the Nightlife Award-winning series of Monday night concerts featuring top theater stars and songwriters, is proud to present SPEAKEASY on Monday, March 12 @ 7pm.

In SPEAKEASY, the legendary jazz club Birdland transforms into an old-school speakeasy with a new-fangled twist for one night only. A host of Broadway’s most unique personalities will take you back to the days of Billie Holliday, Nina Simone and Bobby Short with their private, lounge-inspired takes on songs by John Lennon, Joni Mitchell, Rufus Wainwright, Stephin Merritt and more. Featuring Lea DeLaria (On The Town), Kevin Cahoon (The Wedding Singer, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, band Ghetto Cowboy), Michael Winther (Songs From An Unmade Bed, Mamma Mia!), Lisa Jackson (Lisa Jackson & Girl Friday), Adam Dugas (The Citizens Band), Kyle Jarrow (A Very Merry Unauthorized Childrens Scientology Pageant, Gorilla Man, band Fabulous Entourage), Malan Breton (“Project Runway”), and Michael Conley (Hello Boys!). The band will be made up of Michael Vecchio (Passerby), Mike Jackson and Evan Tazner of The Citizens Band, and Dan Tepfer, who won the 2006 First Prize at the Montreaux Jazz Festival’s International Bosendorfer Solo Piano Competition.
