JERRY ORBACH’S BROADWAY @ 54 Below
JANUARY 25, 2024
Back for an encore by popular demand after a sold out show last summer! Join us at 54 as we celebrate Jerry Orbach, the beloved performer who started out Off-Broadway in The Threepenny Opera and The Fantasticks, then went on to become a leading man in such Broadway shows as Carnival, Promises, Promises, Chicago, and 42nd Street before beginning a brilliant final chapter in his career that included work in films and, of course, his iconic television role of Lt. Lennie Briscoe in “Law & Order.”

Peter’s Brainteasers:

This actor did manage to get a Tony nomination – but not the award itself – for playing four different parts in one musical.

Three of the characters did not have surnames; one did.

About whom are we speaking, in what show, and what were the names?
