Burton in the Basement at 54 Below

  • 54 Below 254 West 54th Street New York, NY, 10019 United States (map)

Enter 54 Below for a dark and whimsical night of music from the strange and spectacular mind that is Tim Burton. Known for his gothic aesthetic, heartfelt oddballs, and off-beat humor, we’re diving into Burton’s decade-spanning career with a cabaret that’s equal parts eerie, enchanting, and unforgettable.

Expect to hear songs from musicals that made their way to the big screen (and vice versa!), including the sweeping Southern whimsy of Big Fish, the technicolor wonder of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the dark, operatic tragedy of Sweeney Todd. We’ll also journey through Burton’s iconic stop-motion worlds with haunting melodies from Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas, plus a few surprises pulled from his deepest creative corners. Music direction by Canaan J. Harris.
