Ben Vereen @ Below 54 - There is Magic for You!

Mr. Ben Vereen, Tony Award winner, singer, dancer, actor extraordinaire; LIVING LEGEND.  He even told us himself, and you know what, not only do I not believe in false modesty, he's absolutely right, he is a living legend!   Before I sing his many praises, go buy a ticket for his nightclub show @ Below 54.  He is only there through July 21st and it would be an absolute shame to miss him.  Mr. Vereen gets my vote for best show I've been to all year.  He sings, he moves he shares his fascinating life story. When you think of the great stars of Broadway, you must think of Vereen who starred in Pippin, Jesus Crust Super Star, Sweet Charity and worked with Broadway's elite: Weber, Fosse, Robbins.  This man can do it all, he had me and the entire audience captivated.  I did not want the evening to end.  He paid tribute to some of his close friends, Sammy Davis, and Frank Sinatra by performing some of their greatest songs in a style that was all his own.  His band was excellent and the pianist, drummer & bass player all had their moments to shine.  Below 54 is the infamous VIP room from the Studio 54 days and is now a comfortable and intimate setting for performers and the food was declicious.  Mr, Vereen sang "How wonderful life is while you're in the world."  Back @ you BEN!  And, come back to Broadway, we miss you.
