Show business couples often have to deal with long periods of time apart but husbands Mario Cantone and Jerry Dixon seem to have that issue under control lately.

After ending 2015 playing a married couple in Mark Gerrard's tragicomedy STEVE, the pair just finished a one-nighter at the Appel Room for Lincoln Center's American Songbook.

If you missed their night of banter and song, you can feast on the leftovers via these two videos where they talk about the night they first met and warble a chorus of Adler and Ross' DAMN YANKEES classic, "Two Lost Souls."

Following the first video is an outtake where they discuss not falling in love at first sight.

Mario Cantone is now prepping for the Off-Broadway opening of A ROOM OF MY OWN, where playwright and director Charles Messina recounts growing up with his eccentric Italian-American family in Greenwich Village. Ralph Macchio is Carl Morelli, a writer who reminisces about his adolescence and childhood dreams of the world outside his crowded downtown tenement. Wishing for his own room-and an Atari-Little Carl (Bustamante) shares the tiny studio in a five-flight walk-up with his unemployed father Peter (Tammaro), older sister Jeannie (Jain), and strong-willed mother Dotty (Tribuzio). Other relatives include Carl's high-strung uncle Jackie, portrayed by Cantone, and estranged aunt Jean (Vann). Messina's new Off-Broadway comedy takes a hilarious and heartfelt look at New York City in the late 1970s.

A ROOM OF MY OWN runs February 13-March 13 in the June Havoc Theatre (312 West 36th Street, 1st floor, between 8th and 9th Avenues): Tuesdays at 7pm, Wednesdays-Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm, Sundays at 2pm; with the following exceptions: no 3pm on Feb. 13, no 2pm on March 6; additional performances 7pm February 21, 3pm on March 2, 7pm on March 6, and 7pm on March 13; no performances Feb. 26 and March 5.
