Known for seamlessly blending ‘80s pop/rock with classic show tunes, the evening includes medleys such as “The Queen & I,” “Midler on the Roof,” and “The Prince & The Poppins.”

Following the April 30 debut, CASHINO returns will all different shows on Tuesdays at 8:30 PM on May 28, June 25, and July 30. Each show has a $25-35 music charge. Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street in New York.
