“N+N Productions is thrilled to team up with Flute to present another installment of the Broadway Rhythm and Booze series, that celebrates soul music and live performance,” said Nikole Vallins and Natalie Malotke, Producers. “Flute is a new musical venue that is ideal venue for Broadway and emerging artists from a variety of disciplines to debut their own material and artistry. With the support of the Broadway community, we are able to reinvent Cabaret in New York and introduce a new family of rising stars.”
Flûte was created by founder and owner Hervé Rousseau, in 1997, in a space that was once home to the Prohibition-era speakeasy, Club Intime. A native Parisian, Hervé was inspired by his experience in the wine industry to combine New York’s unparalleled cocktail culture with a French attitude towards champagne, where no one waits for a special occasion to pop open a bottle of bubbly. The menu contains “The Magic Flutes”, trios of champagnes each made from a single grape and savory plates including yellowfin Tuna Tartare and their Signature Vietnamese Fusion Spring rolls, perfect for an evening filled with soul.
Reservations recommended, running time is one hour.
