The concerts starred Colin Donnell, Matt Doyle, Jennifer Damiano, Keala Settle, Ben Crawford, Mackenzie Mauzy, Nicolette Robinson, original Bright Lights cast member AnnMarie Milazzo and Tony Award winner Alice Ripley.

It also featured an ensemble of six young performers, many of whom made their 54 Below debuts: Michelle Cameron, Adrienne Eller, Zachary Infante, Dimitri Joseph Moïse, Lizzy Perkins and Tim Sampson.

The musical’s original director, Michael Greif, directed the concerts. Matt Hinkley was Music Director, leading a band which included Mike Pettry, Craig Magnano, Steve Gilewski & Jay Mack. Katie Riegel produced the events.

This was the first NYC performance of Bright Lights, Big City since 2002, and happened during the 30th anniversary year of McInerney’s novel’s release. The musical was originally produced at New York Theatre Workshop in 1999. A studio recording is available on Sh-K-Boom Records featuring Patrick Wilson, Jesse L.
