BROADWAY BARFLY Comes to the Green Room 42

The Green Room 42 will present “Broadway Barfly,” an evening with comedian, actor, singer, and YouTube creator Robert Driemeyer (Caroline's on Broadway, “Comic Strip Live”), on Sunday, December 1 at 1:00 PM.

 “Broadway Barfly” takes the audience on a stimulating musical adventure through Broadway's fabled nightlife, stirring up spirited songs and saucy stories of classic cocktails and their connections to the Great White Way. As part of the show, you'll have the option to indulge in a tasting flight of heady concoctions set to tunes from Cole Porter to Katy Perry. You never know when a surprise guest star will show up to lead a rousing chorus of the “Broadway Barfly Drinking Song!” This intoxicating combo of music and mixology is a show like you never drank before. Driemeyer is joined by music director Brad Vieth on piano. A livestream options is available.

“Broadway Barfly” is inspired by Driemeyer's YouTube Channel, where he celebrates Broadway and cocktails. Since its launch in 2020, the channel has attracted Broadway and cocktail enthusiasts from around the world, amassing over 300k views.
