Ashford will play three shows at the Broadway supper club in February.

Annaleigh Ashford, Tony-nominated star of Broadway's 2013 Best Musical Kinky Boots and soon-to-be regular of Showtime's Masters of Sex, will take the stage at 54 Below on February 3 and 15 for three performances of her solo show Lost in the Stars. TheaterMania chatted with Ashford about the inspiration behind her cabaret, which, as it turns out, is rooted in her 10 years of performing in a lounge act at a senior-citizens facility. Take a look as the Broadway singer takes us into the "bowels of Studio 54" for a preview of her upcoming show filled with '90s covers, disco tributes, and audience participation.
