THE GREEN ROOM 42 will present John Hume and Friends Go To The Movies! on Wednesday, March 6th at 7:00 PM. The “darling of downtown cabaret” John C. Hume and his rag-tag bunch of Friends return to the NYC stage with a brand-new cabaret show celebrating the enchantment, glamor, and excitement of the movies… just in time for Academy Award season! Audiences won't want to miss an all-star cast of your favorite Friends singing their way through the history of cinema and celebrating everything you love about the magical world over the rainbow and beyond the silver screen. 

This next installment of the John Hume and Friends cabaret series follows last year's …Love Letter To Broadway musical revue. “I'm so excited to be back in New York and The Green Room 42 to celebrate the magic of the movies with all my friends. We're a very Broadway centric group and so I'm thrilled to give our performers and audiences a little something different this awards season. I mean, who doesn't love movies? From the silent era spectacles of Cecile B. DeMille to Greta Gerwig's Barbie, I can't wait to sing our way through the history of cinema. And yes, I'm most certainly ready for my close up!”

Hume, with music direction by Mila Henry, John Hume and Friends Go To The Movies! features performances by Billy Anderson, Lavinia Draper, Chad Gneiting, Dane Jerabek, Nicholas Harbison, Leslie Hendrickson, Erin Hume, John C.
