Robbie Rozelle Returns To 54 Below
03-04-24
54 Below, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Matinee favourite Robbie Rozelle in “Contractually Obligated” on May 10, 2024. The show marks Rozelle’s first solo show since selling out the club in 2021 in 24 minutes.
Seven years after making his cabaret debut with the sold-out hit show Songs From Inside My Locker (called “the gold standard of cabaret recordings” by Behind the Curtain), celebrated entertainer Robbie Rozelle returns to the scene of the crime with an all-new show. Hailed as “a genius at crafting an evening” (StageBuddy), Contractually Obligated is an all-new evening of carefully curated chaos. Unleashing his razor-sharp wit, signature medleys, special guests and his band The Two Drink Minimum (led by long-time musical director Yasuhiko Fukuoka) on the famed nightclub, the award-winning performer is “a cabaret train that won’t be stopped” (BroadwayWorld). One part raconteur, one part stand-up comic, and one part musical storyteller, you don’t want to miss this brand-new evening that Robbie is contractually obligated to deliver.
Contractually Obligated features special guests Janine LaManna (Drama Desk nominee for Seussical) and Matt Koplik (Broadway Breakdown).
Robbie Rozelle sings “In Hell’s Kitchen” (music & lyrics by Michael Finke), from his album “Songs From Inside My Locker – Live at Feinstein’s/54 Below”.
