Feinstein's/54 Below has announced its new Diamond Series, featuring concert-length performances from Broadway favorites paired with specially curated dinners. The series will kick off with concerts from Tony winner Kelli O'Hara (May 12-17), Tony winner Laura Benanti (June 23-28), and Tony nominee Megan Hilty (July 28-August 2).

Diamond Series shows are described as follows: "Guests will be greeted with a welcome drink and hors d'oeuvres prior to a three-course dinner and an up-close and personal performance. Following the show, guests are invited to linger and savor their evening in the warm and stylish environs of Feinstein's/54 Below. The cost of dinner, the concert, tax, and tip is included in the ticket price, with additional alcoholic beverages billed separately."
