The Burn Book Cabaret is a celebration of musical theatre's meanest moments, starring Broadway veterans and rising stars alike. From Mean Girls to Heathers, Audrey II to Amber Von Tussle, these are the characters that say the quiet part out loud.

Whether you're here for the gleeful chaos of "Candy Store," or the fiery unraveling of "World Burn," 54 Below welcomes those who agree that the villain is the most fun role to play. Expect sharp wit, spectacular vocals, and at least one number that will make you feel a little guilty for cheering. You won't want to miss this night of Broadway havoc.

Directed and produced by Rebecca May Ristow, tonight you can sit with us.
