The Theatre District's swanky new nightclub 54 Below is hosting a slew of Broadway's hottest stars this summer, from two-time Tony winner Patti LuPone to downtown diva Mx Justin Vivian Bond. Broadway.com is asking these talented vocalists to share a few musical memories and tell fans about the music that molded them into the performers they are today. Get ready for one of the funniest women on Broadway, Jackie Hoffman, who is performing her new solo show, at 54 Below each Sunday night through July 29. This Broadway.com favorite (and former vlogger!) holds nothing back as she gushes about Steve and Eydie, The Producers and The Beatles.
