"CASHINO," the long-running LA and NYC cult hit made it's debut at Birdland for one night only on Monday, April 3. Susie Mosher (Hairspray and host of Birdland's "The Lineup") and recording artist John Boswell starred as Pepper Cole and Johnny Niagra in the special concert version of the critically acclaimed multimedia musical show.

"CASHINO" began in the early 2000's with a series of short films about the lives of two legendary singers and their continuing struggle to become internet entrepreneurs. Since then, Johnny and Pepper have entertained audiences on both coasts with high energy, high strung and emotionally charged live sets. Known for seamlessly blending 80's pop/rock with classic show tunes, medleys include: "The Queen & I," "Midler On The Roof," "Chicago" and "The Prince & The Poppins." After ten years of vocal rest, Johnny and Pepper are back and rocking the world!
