THE AFTER PARTY Welcomes Susie Mosher, John Boswell On 2/6

Tomorrow, Friday, February 6th THE AFTER PARTY is thrilled to welcome Time Out New York's Top 10 Pick of 2008 CASHINO starring Hairpsrpay's SUSIE MOSHER and recording artist John Boswell

Also featuring Singer/Songwriter Katie Thompson and Wicked's Julie Reiber with WILLIAM WADE at the piano!

"I have a sordid confession to make: I am addicted to Cashino. My first encounter with Susan Mosher and John Boswell's hilariously demented lounge act came last year
during the After Party, the Beechman's weekly open-mike binge. With delicious intensity, they performed a mixed-up medley of songs by the band Chicago and from the musical
Chicago. (Cashino specializes in hybrids of Broadway and 1970s pop that would make Dr. Moreau proud.) I was hooked, and made sure to catch their whole set soon afterward. Then I went back to see them again. And again. And again. The houses were always packed: Cashino's cult following, once confined to Los Angeles, is spreading rapidly through New York.

Mosher plays singer Pepper Cole, a lovable loser undaunted by failure; Boswell, in a velvet smoking jacket and a glow-in-the-dark toupee, is her pianist, Johnny Niagra.
(Their backstory is laid out in goofy video mockumentaries during the show: Lounge lizards having become an endangered species, Cashino provides live entertainment for online gamblers in their homes.) Boswell's arrangements are terrific-he has a first-rate ear for unexpected segues and counterpoints-and Mosher is a dynamo of bright, unstable energy; her herky-jerky side kicks while singing are like steam being released from a pipe on the verge of exploding. If Cashino is a disease, baby, I don't want the cure. Catch it if you can."
