When Broadway Meets St. Louis Rhythm, Passion, and Style. Come Join Us Again! You’ll Be So Glad You Deux!
For two nights only, the New Liners return to the acoustically magnificent Sheldon Concert Hall in the Grand Center Arts District.
New Line Theatre continues its 34th season of exciting, relevant, adult musical theatre in January, with the much anticipated sequel to last season's very successful Broadway Noir concert at the world-famous Sheldon. The sequel, BROADWAY NOIR DEUX!, features a cast of all local actors of color, sharing with you a powerhouse celebration of Broadway musicals through the lens of their own lives, staking their claim to this most American art form, and reminding us that the Broadway musical belongs to all of us.
Conceived and curated again by New Line Theatre's Associate Artistic Director Chris Moore, this night of reimagined theatre songs fuses heart, artistry, pride, and unapologetic emotion, with powerful, personal takes on iconic Broadway songs like "Love is an Open Door" (Frozen), "As If We Never Said Goodbye" (Sunset Blvd.), "Maybe This Time" (Cabaret), "Don't Rain on My Parade" (Funny Girl), "Johanna" (Sweeney Todd), "If I Loved You," (Carousel), "Michael in the Bathroom" (Be More Chill), and lots more.
New Line's cast includes Charmian Aaron, De-Rance Blaylock, Jabari Boykin, DeAnté Bryant, Kenya Devine, Sharee Jones, Kimmie Kidd-Booker, Ronmal Mottley, Victoria Pines, Aliegha Ramos, Corrinna Redford, Adrian L. Rice, Areanna Shears, and Aaron Tucker. Ten of the actors return from last season's Broadway Noir. The evening is directed by Chris Moore, with the assistance of Sharee Jones, and with music direction by Jermaine Manor.
From intimate ballads to full company numbers, BROADWAY NOIR DEUX! invites you to experience the beauty, resilience, and brilliance of Black and Brown artistry ‑ when Broadway meets St. Louis rhythm, passion, and style.
New Line has previously performed at the Sheldon in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2016, and 2025. This will mark New Line's seventh concert at this historic venue.
