Jerry Orbach’s Broadway will be presented at 54 Below on July 24. The evening of music honors the beloved 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 before beginning a brilliant final chapter in his career that included work in films and his iconic television role of Lt. Lennie Briscoe in Law & Order.
Broadway veterans William Michals (Parade, South Pacific, etc.) and Jay Aubrey Jones (Cats, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) head up the cast, 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.
