54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents JAMES ROSE in “MEN I'VE HAD” on October 17th, 2023.
In this heartfelt and hilarious confessional cabaret James (they/she, @jamesissmiling) shares the trials and tribulations of the Men They've Had: exes, lovers, daddies, hook-ups-gone-wrong, and that one guy they really don't want to talk about, ok? James interweaves stories of their chaotic love life with the music of Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles, and classic Broadway hits. Join James for an evening of what happens not when you get the boy, but after you've had him. Who knows, you just might text your ex on the way home.
Content Warning: this show includes mature themes around sex and a mention of sexual assault.
MEN I'VE HAD is Directed by Ali Funkhouser (she/her) (The Wolves, Tarzan at FPAC) with Music Direction and arrangements by Richard Rodgers Award Winner Bree Lowdermilk (she/her) (The Mad Ones, The Bad Years).
