Michael Hull and Dylan Bustamante host The 5:30 Quarantini, welcoming Broadway's most talented quarantined bartenders to share their favorite drinks and test their pub quiz knowledge. The 5:30 Quarantini celebrates its 100th episode on Friday, July 10, 2020 at 5:30 p.m.
Since the initiation of Stay at Home orders, Hull and Bustamante have been brightening everyone's evenings with a virtual happy hour and quiz show. Each episode features a star of stage or screen as "Guest Bartender," mixing up their favorite cocktail and playing a game with the cheeky host duo.
Hull and Bustamante are staples of the Broadway scene. Hull made his mark as an actor, director, and NYC Cabaret personality while Bustamante has rubbed elbows with every major player on and Off-Broadway as longtime host of Feinstein's/54 Below. The two teamed up in March to entertain quarantined theater-lovers during the Covid-19 pandemic and while New York City is starting to re-open, The 5:30 Quarantini shows no signs of crying last-call.
