Scott Siegel’s 54 Sings Broadway’s Greatest Hits is among the most successful series of cabaret shows of the 21st century. The reason for the series’ success (every show is sold out) is that Siegel gathers together some of the very best voices from the Broadway, cabaret, and for this show, the opera world to perform a well-thought-out collection of some of the best songs from Broadway musicals.

The 43rd edition was no exception. The cast was filled with wonderful vocalists performing songs from every decade from the 1940s to the present. Siegel’s introductory comments to each song were insightful, entertaining, and often quite funny.

Music director Ron Abel’s superlative accompaniment matched each singer’s style and sound, and his solo turns always drew applause.
Ann Kittrredge, accompanied by Alex Rybeck, opened the show with a dramatic “Back to Before,” (Ragtime) and later, offered another Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Faherty song “The Human Heart” (Once on This Island). Hunter Ryan Herdlicka’s big voice thrilled with “Younger Than Springtime,” as well as on the closing notes of “Almost Like Being in Love,” which included a dazzling piano solo by Abel. Before Lianne Dobbs (pictured) performed “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” Siegel told a an amusing story of how Burt Bacharach was in the hospital with pneumonia when he wrote the song, which explains the lyric “What do you get when you fall in love?

…You get pneumonia.” Dobbs returned for as good a performance of the ultra-dramatic “Fifty Percent” (Ballroom) as I have heard. Francesca Capetta’s voice and acting turned “My Husband Makes Movies” (Nine) into a mini-drama. Russian opera star Oleksandra Hrabova performed “I Could Have Danced All Night” with no microphone and fully displayed her operatic soprano by holding a very high note at the end.

Willie Demyan closed the show, appropriately, with a very big finish to “This Is the Moment.” (Jekyll and Hyde).
