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.”

A classroom and event space in the heart of Chelsea, NYC located in the historic home of Rip Torn and Geraldine Page.

They had a daughter, actress Angelica Page, and twin sons: actor Tony Torn, and Jon Torn (an associate professor[17] of electronic media and film at Northern Arizona University[18]).
