On Monday, July 24 at 7:00 PM, an evening of music titled Jerry Orbach’s Broadway will be presented at 54 Below, to honor the performer who started out Off-Broadway in The Threepenny Opera and The Fantasticks, then went on to star in such Broadway shows as Carnival, Promises, Promises, Chicago, and 42nd Street. Orbach’s career also included work in films and his iconic television role of Lt. Lennie Briscoe in “Law & Order.” The show is produced and directed by theater journalist and historian Michael Portantiere, with Matthew Martin Ward as musical director/pianist.
The show’s cast is headed by Broadway veterans William Michals (Parade, South Pacific, etc.) and Jay Aubrey Jones (Cats, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying), along with rising star Nikita Burshteyn (Romeo & Bernadette, Bernstein on Broadway at 54 Below). There will also be special guest appearances/performances by two of Jerry Orbach’s stage co-stars, Jill O’Hara (Promises, Promises) and Lee Roy Reams (42nd Street), and by Jerry’s sons, Chris Orbach and Tony Orbach, who will reminisce about their father and his career.
