Doors open at 5:30pm for the 7pm show.

Doors open at 9pm for the 9:45pm show.

Sometimes Broadway musicals run forever, like Cats or Les Misérables. But sometimes, Broadway musicals run for only a minute, like Merrily We Roll Along, High Fidelity, or Via Galactica. This is their story.

If It Only Even Runs A Minute is the Bistro Award-winning concert series celebrating rare songs, behind-the-scenes tales, and inspiring photos from underappreciated musicals. It is created & hosted by Feinstein’s/54 Below Creative & Programming Director Jennifer Ashley Tepper and Book of Mormon’s Kevin Michael Murphy, with musical direction by Dan Garmon.

The 18th edition will be the first with a theme: The Underappreciated Musicals of Hal Prince. During his legendary career, Prince changed Broadway forever, altering our idea of what theatre could be. Many of his shows became landmark hits – but what about the ones that didn’t?

Expect original cast and team members from Hal’s shows, new interpretations of never recorded songs, and a celebration of the man himself.
