Broadway's Amy Spanger will sing from Songbird at 54 Below.

54 Below will present a concert staging of Songbird by Michael Kimmel (The Last Goodbye) and Lauren Pritchard (Spring Awakening). The event will take place June 30 at 9:30pm.

Based on Chekhov’s The Seagull, Songbird is a look at the whiskey-soaked nights and hung-over dreams of Nashville’s contemporary country music scene. The cast will perform selections from the show, "bonus tracks" of never-performed or material, and some of the classic country-western tunes that define Nashville and inspired the world and sound of the show.

Songbird in Concert will feature Amy Spanger (Rock of Ages), Kacie Sheik (Hair), Ephie Aardema (The Bridges of Madison County), Adam Cochran (The Last Goodbye), Drew McVety (The Last Ship), Eric William Morris (Coram Boy), and Jaz Sealey (Aladdin), with a special guest appearance by Brandon Ellis (Once). The evening is directed by JV Mercanti, with music direction by Kristin Stowell.
