Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester returns to 54 Below with Fifty Threads: An Artist’s Journey, reflecting on her five-decade career, from Thursday, June 12 – Saturday, June 14, all at 7 PM.
A native New Yorker, Manchester holds the distinction of being the first singer ever to have two Academy Award-nominated songs in the same year (“Through The Eyes Of Love” from Ice Castles and “I’ll Never Say Goodbye” from The Promise) and to perform them both in the same Oscar telecast.
She was most recently seen in the national tour of Funny Girl as Mrs. Brice, has also starred in the national tours of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Music Of The Night and Song And Dance, and created the role of Maddy, the title character’s mother, on the NBC hit TV series “Blossom.” Nominated for a Grammy in 1980 for “Don’t Cry Out Loud,” she won the Grammy Award for Best Female Vocalist in 1982 singing “You Should Hear How She Talks About You.”
As a composer, Manchester wrote music for the animated features The Great Mouse Detective and Lady And The Tramp II, as well as for the theatrical musicals I Sent A Letter To My Love and Sweet Potato Queens, among others. She was inducted into the Great American Songbook Foundation’s Hall of Fame in 2021..
