Sam Ust celebrated the ‘Spooky Season’ in Broadway’s Living Room with an homage to horror from musicals long past! 54 Below Goes Horror! was a spectre-tacular evening of merriment, murder and mystery. Music directed by Florence Klein (Archie’s Weird Parody, Playing Dead) and starring a host of hair-raising performers. With songs from Sweeney Todd, Little Shop of Horrors, American Psycho, and more.
