New York, NY (October 1, 2015) – Feinstein’s/54 Below is proud to present newly-married Broadway veterans Jarrod Spector and Kelli Barrett in a brand new show, “This is Dedicated: Music’s Greatest Marriages” this October. The show, which is jam-packed with some of the most beloved hits of all time, including “Proud Mary” (Ike & Tina), “Somewhere Out There” (Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil), “Seven Nation Army” (The White Stripes) and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” (as part of an Ashford & Simpson Medley), pays homage to the greatest married musical couples of the past century. “This is Dedicated: Music’s Greatest Marriages” will play October 20 – October 24 at 54 Below (254 West 54th St).
Spector, who currently plays legendary songwriter Barry Mann in Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, and Barrett are often asked, “What is it like to be married to a fellow artist?” Bringing to life the greatest songs birthed from the greatest marriages, the two attempt to answer the question. From Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil and Alan & Marilyn Bergman to Sonny & Cher to Beyonce & Jay-Z, the themes of love, heartbreak, triumph, and despair infuse not only these incredible songs, but also the storied partnerships themselves. In an evening filled with humor, heart, and powerhouse vocals, Barrett & Spector celebrate marriage as the driving force behind this timeless music and tackle the difficult questions behind keeping it all together.
In this multifaceted variety-show-meets-rock-concert, the dynamic couple pulls out all the stops in a night that’s sure to bring down the house. Tickets for all performances (7:00PM) are available for purchase at www.54below.com
