Mark and Roger, thirty years on, sitting a few feet from your table. Rapp and Pascal have toured this two-hander for years and the pleasure is the mix: songs from the show that made them, songs from everywhere else, and the loose talk of two people who met at a workshop on East 4th Street. If you wore out that original cast recording, this is a one-night proposition.
What to expect
You are seated at a table with table service running before the show starts, in a low red room under Midtown. The set mixes duets, solo numbers and unstructured conversation, and the audience response to certain first notes tends to be immediate. Sets at this club run around seventy-five minutes.
Good to know
- 54 Below is at 254 West 54th, downstairs — take the B/D/E to 7th Ave or the 1 to 50th St
- Every ticket carries a food-and-drink minimum on top of the cover, charged at the table
- Seating is by arrival time within your ticket tier, so getting there when doors open improves your table
- Tables are shared with other parties unless you buy the full table
- The room is small and sells out for Broadway-name bookings, so same-night walk-ups are unlikely
- Good for a date night or a musical-theater friend group; less so for anyone who wants to stand and dance
