Charlie Rosen returns to 54 Below — with his 17-piece jazz orchestra in tow — on Thursday, October 16, for a 9:30pm show of Charlie Rosen's Broadway Big Band Live!

Produced by Jacob Porter and directed by Max Friedman, the concert will feature guest vocalists Daniel Breaker (Shrek), Matt Doyle (The Book of Mormon), Laura Osnes (Cinderella), and Julia Mattison (Godspell), with a special appearance by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (The Bridges of Madison County), who will showcase a selection from his upcoming Broadway musical, Honeymoon in Vegas. Additional guest appearances will be announced at a later date.

Honoring the timeless tradition of big band, Rosen presents reimagined arrangements of Broadway tunes with a jazz twist. A composer, performer, and orchestrator, Rosen has played in the bands of Broadway's 13 the Musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, One Man, Two Guvnors, and Love's Labour's Lost.
