Having conquered Broadway with a string of acclaimed roles – from Gypsy to White Christmas to On the Town – triple-threat Tony Yazbeck sets his sights on reinventing the solo album with his new studio recording, The Floor Above Me, adapted and expanded from his one-man show. Blending song, dance and personal narrative, Yazbeck breathes new life into not only the time-honored tale of the Broadway dreamer but the solo album as well, with ecstatic tap dancing and a moving story that deepens the emotional impact of Yazbeck's carefully curated program. Yazbeck, whose "easy, warm, open-hearted and touchingly real performance" as Gabey in the 2014 Broadway revival of On the Town "provided the show with a firm emotional center" (The New York Times), brings his openness, charm and boundless energy to his own story as a hardworking kid growing up in Pennsylvania who dreamed of making it on Broadway – and did. Comprising an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the classic tunes of Irving Berlin ("Let Yourself Go," "Cheek to Cheek") and the Gershwins ("Fascinating Rhythm," "Slap That Bass") to the more modern pop of Coldplay, Jamie Cullum and Martin Sexton, and featuring guest appearances by Clyde Alves (Yazbeck's co-star in On the Town) and Melinda Sullivan (So You Think You Can Dance), The Floor Above Me gives audiences the chance to join Yazbeck on his journey to Broadway.
