The Fremonts Bring THE FAILURE CABARET to 54 Below

54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club and 2022 Tony Award Honoree for Excellence in the Theatre, presents The Fremonts in The Failure Cabaret on September 24th at 9:30pm.

Fresh off a month at the Edinburgh Fringe, The Fremonts bring their critically acclaimed show, The Failure Cabaret, to NYC!

Wanna feel better about your own dysfunctional romantic relationship? The Fremonts have been married for ten years and they have the therapy bills to prove it. In this dark comedy cabaret fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Justin Badger from Fremont, California (Hair on Broadway, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Vocals/Guitar) & Stephanie Dodd from Fremont, Nebraska (59E59, Shakespeare & Company, Vocals/Accordion) perform their original music and tell their story of meeting in New York, performing on Broadway, accidentally moving to a pretentious mountain town and doing everything in their power to stay sane and married at the same time. This show was born when Executive Producer & Advertising Legend Chuck Porter declared, "Hey kids, let's do a show!" after a few beers in a hotel bar. It has a companion piece, a full-length album by the same title, which was released digitally in April 2019.

The Failure Cabaret plays 54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on September 24th. There is a $30 - $70 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.
