Tony Award-winning entertainer and music icon Melba Moore is returning to the New York stage this summer with a special engagement at the famed cabaret venue 54 Below.
The legendary singer and actress will perform her acclaimed one-woman show, From Broadway, With Love, on June 24 and June 25, 2026, with both performances beginning at 7 p.m. The updated production promises an evening that celebrates Moore’s remarkable career spanning Broadway, television, and the music industry.
Widely regarded as one of the most versatile performers of her generation, Moore will honor some of the most influential women in Broadway history while revisiting the songs that helped establish her own place in entertainment history. Audience members can expect tributes to stage legends including Barbra Streisand, Diahann Carroll, Lena Horne, and Liza Minnelli, all artists whose groundbreaking achievements helped shape American theater and music.
At the same time, Moore will shine a spotlight on her own celebrated body of work. The performance will feature selections from the Broadway musicals Hair and Purlie, two productions that played pivotal roles in her rise to stardom. Moore earned widespread acclaim for her work in both shows, with Purlie helping secure her place among Broadway’s elite performers.
The evening will also include some of her best-known R&B and pop recordings. Fans can look forward to hearing hits such as “Love’s Comin’ At Ya” and “You Stepped Into My Life,” songs that helped make Moore a fixture on radio playlists throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. Her ability to move seamlessly between Broadway and contemporary music has long distinguished her career from many of her peers.
Moore’s return to 54 Below comes as she continues to receive recognition for her contributions to entertainment and her enduring influence on generations of performers. In addition to her live performances, her memoir, This Is It – Marvelous & Getting Better, has been earning praise from readers and collecting five-star reviews on Amazon.
Known for her powerful voice, dynamic stage presence, and trailblazing career, Moore remains one of the most respected figures in both theater and music. Her upcoming performances offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience an artist whose career has touched multiple eras of American entertainment.
Located in the heart of Manhattan’s theater district, 54 Below provides an intimate setting for what promises to be a memorable evening of stories, songs, and celebration. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, From Broadway, With Love serves as both a tribute to Broadway’s great women and a showcase of Melba Moore’s extraordinary legacy.
