SHINING IN MISERY: A KING-SIZE PARODY AT 54 BELOW, BROADWAY’S SUPPER CLUB, MAY 8 AT 9:30PM.
54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Shining in Misery: A King-Size Parody on May 8 2024 at 9:30pm. Join a chilling evening featuring songs and comedic highlights in celebration of the works of master macabrer, Stephen King. This critically-acclaimed show features songs including “Greener Mile,” “Squint Through The Shining,” “Number One Fan,” “Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying,” and many more.
It all starts during the “Misery” of a blizzard, when five people are drawn to the “shining” lights of the Overlook Hotel. The group includes Jack: the hotel’s new caretaker, Wendy: his unhappy wife, Danny: their clairvoyant son, Annie: a quick to anger nurse, and Paul: the mysterious unconscious man she drags up to room 217. As the storm grows so do the mysteries of the hotel and the new guests sing and vocalize while hacking an onslaught of visitors — human, animal, and supernatural. Will this group be able to harmonize through “IT,” take a “Stand,” or fade into “The Mist?”
