John C. Hume and Mila Henry Come to 54 Below Tonight
By: BWW News Desk Apr. 10, 2015
In 2009, John Hume walked into an Upper West Side rehearsal hall and met Mila Henry. Fred had met his Ginger and the rest, as they say, is history. From those humble beginnings, the pair has traveled the world (well, New York City at least!) and wowed audiences at their sold-out engagements at The Metropolitan Room, Don't Tell Mama's and The Duplex. After a two-year absence since their last solo show, John and Mila are reuniting for a very special Evening at 54 Below.
Join them as they revisit some of their favorite songs from the Hume and Henry catalogue, introduce you to numbers from previous shows that ended up on the cutting room floor and put their classic Johnnie and Mila spin on some brand-new tunes. From Styne to Sondheim. From dive bars to supper clubs. From good times to bum times they've seen 'em all...and my dear? They're still here!
Featuring: Allison Linker, Miranda Wilson.
