We ran into Tony winner LaChanze (The Color Purple, Once On This Island) the other night at the Motown: The Musical Opening Night Party. Now, what a coincidence that starting tonight she’ll be paying tribute to Motown front woman, Diana Ross, during special concert at 54 Below. The show which partly shares a name with one of Ms. Ross’ famous songs, Love Hangover: LaChanze Sings Diana Ross, will play the venue April 17-18 and April 22 at 7 PM. Doors open at 5:30 PM for all performances.
“One of Broadway’s most celebrated, powerhouse voices takes to the stage at 54 Below in salute of a woman who broke barriers and challenged stereotypes throughout her legendary career,” according to press notes. “‘Love Hangover,’ ‘Do You Know Where You’re Goin’ To?,’ ‘Endless Love’ and ‘Good Morning, Heartache’ are just a few of the tunes forever linked with this formidable artist (who won a Tony for 1977’s An Evening with Diana Ross). And who better to celebrate this music than another formidable artist?”
Tickets are $30-$40 cover charge and there will be a $25 food/beverage minimum.
54 Below is located at 254 W. 54th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue. For tickets call (646) 476-3551 or visit 54below.com. Make reservations TODAY!!!
