Broadway veterans Matt Cavenaugh and Jenny Powers are stepping aside from their usual solo spotlights this weekend to share the stage with their three kids. The married couple is presenting a new cabaret revue called “Keeping Up with the Cavenaughs” at 54 Below in New York City, marking the first time the family has performed together onstage as a group.
The show, which features 14-year-old George, 11-year-old Henry and six-year-old Rose alongside their parents, runs Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., according to BroadwayWorld. Saturday's performance will also be available as a livestream, giving fans who can't make it into the room a way to watch from home. Tickets for the in-person shows range from $30.50 to $69, the venue's site notes.
A Family First on the 54 Below Stage
Cavenaugh and Powers are no strangers to Broadway marquees. The venue describes Matt as known for his roles as Tony in the 2009 revival of West Side Story and the title role in Urban Cowboy, while Jenny starred as Meg in Little Women opposite Sutton Foster and played Rizzo in Grease. Those credits are what made this weekend's shift in focus notable: for once, the two performers are sharing billing with George, Henry and Rose rather than carrying a show alone.
The concert promises a musical tribute built around the couple's past roles, with the whole family singing Broadway favorites together. The production was assembled by music director Phil Reno and director Joe Langworth, according to the venue listing.
From Northeast Arkansas Stages to New York City
The family's path to 54 Below runs through Northeast Arkansas, where Cavenaugh and Powers founded The Link Theatre Company, described on its site as a professional theatre company that the couple built together after meeting on Broadway. The Link Theatre Company includes teaching programs for children in the arts, and reporting from the Jonesboro Sun notes that several area young people have gotten the chance to hone their theatrical talents through the company's youth programming.
That regional work isn't the first time the couple has paired their Broadway careers with performances outside New York. Years earlier, the pair performed together at the annual Broadway Comes to Stratford benefit at the Stratford Library, according to the Connecticut Post.
Next Stop for Jenny Powers
Once the family cabaret wraps, Jenny Powers has another New York stage appearance ahead: she is set to star in Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen, which opens October 15, 2026, according to the venue listing for her current show. For now, though, the spotlight belongs to the whole Cavenaugh family together, sharing a New York stage as a group for the very first time.
