Here's an update on a BWW news item of yesterday...
The late July by-invitation-only reading cast will be:
Meredith Patterson (White Christmas; 42nd Street) Robb Sapp (Wicked) Nathalie Paulding (Les Miz) Judy Blazer (Love Musik) Michael Rupert (Legally Blonde) J. Robert Spencer (Jersey Boys) Rachel Coloff (Lestat) Bobby Daye (The Color Purple) Eric Michael Gillett (The Frogs) Joy Hermalyn (Children and Art) Marissa McGowan (Les Miz) Kilty Reidy (The Drowsey Chaperone)
Music Director: Lawrence Yurman (Grey Gardens) Set Design: Ray Klausen (Brooklyn; Big River) Choreographer: Warren Carlyle (The Producers)
Director: Susan H. Schulman (Little Women; Secret Garden)
I saw the preliminary set designs for this show last October, and they looked cool. They were sort of in a fantasy design. I look forward to seeing how they will be in their final form.
There's a beautiful song from the show on BWW radio. It's called "When the Camera Isn't There." Rachel York sings it. Wow. It's listed under "Lyrics by Liepart," a demo recording.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this. It's based on the last few months in the life of Marilyn Monroe.
