Broadway veteran Ben Crawford, fresh from his run in the title role of The Phantom of the Opera, presents his new show Songs I Like To Sing That I Hope You’ll Like To Hear, from Thursday, August 24 through Saturday, August 26 at 7:00 PM at 54 Below. Music director, arranger and song man John Coyne joins the singer.
Imagine Crawford in the car taking his kids to summer activities: “what would he sing?” Imagine him in a quiet home all to himself: “what’s he gonna rock out to?” Imagine him in the shower (not like that!): “what’s his shower repertoire?” The answers ti those questions are featured in this new show, featuring songs from Sondheim, Alan Menken, Lerner and Lowe, Hall & Oates and Gareth Donkin to name a few. No musical style is off limits in this cabaret, except maybe polka, but only because he doesn’t know any.
Hailing from Tucson, AZ, Crawford has a career spanning over 15 years in the theatre. Some of his notable Broadway roles include Mr. Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Bully Don Price in Big Fish, understudying both Valjean and Javert in Les Misérables and playing the titular roles in Shrek the Musical and Phantom of the Opera.
