JERRY ORBACH’S BROADWAY @ 54 Below
Thursday, January 25, 2024 @ 7PM
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.”

Glynis Johns, Tony Winner for ‘A Little Night Music,’ Dies at 100
In a trans-Atlantic career that endured for more than 60 years, she was also known for her role in the hit Disney movie “Mary Poppins.”
Peter’s Brainteasers:
In the 21st century, the 20th century musical for which he composed the score won a Tony for Best Revival of a Musical. Exactly ten years earlier, she appeared in a show that won a Tony for Best Revival of a Musical. No, she didn’t win a Tony for it, but four years later, she did win for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. So she now has a Tony, while he has three. And what do the two have in common? His initials are an anagram of hers, and vice versa. Who are they?
