The tenth installment of Sing For Your Supper will be a celebration of the pleasures of summer, and the perennial allure of women. Matt Boehler and Mary Testa bring their clarion voices and comic flair back to Henry's for the second time while the exquisite soprano Laquita Mitchell and the thrilling tenor Andrew Owens make their first "Sing For Your Supper" appearances. "The Girls of Summer" is an evening of thrilling singing and high-powered Broadway pizzazz. Steven is thrilled to make music with these four superb artists--and to share them with the wonderful denizens of Henry's. The evening will also feature Chef Mark Barrett's famous Baked Veal Ricotta Meatballs featured in the 3-course, Italian-American prix-fixe dinner.
