AN EVENING WITH JOHN HUME & MILA HENRY, April 10 at 11:30PM

Nine cabaret shows. Six years. Seventy-one songs. Thirty-seven puppets. Two incredible back-up singers. Countless costumes changes. And one incredible friendship... 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.
