Casting has been announced for the new Duncan Sheik-Kyle Jarrow musical Noir, which will make its world premiere at Houston's Alley Theatre June 2 - July 3.

Christy Altomare (Anastasia on Broadway) leads a cast that includes Adam Kantor, Morgan Marcell, Sinclair Daniel, David Guzman, Clifton Samuels, and Voltaire Wade-Greene.

Inspired by film noir, Noir is described this way in press material: "A heartbroken man never leaves his apartment, finding his only solace in the music on the radio. Then a couple moves in next door. Eavesdropping becomes his new entertainment - and his new obsession. Soon he finds himself drawn into a web of love, lies, deceit, and danger."

Color me intrigued! And it's directed by Darko Tresnjak.

Here are two songs from the show (or at least 5-6 years ago they were in the show). Sounds quite different from Sheik's other work.

Did anyone go last night for opening night? Quite the interesting creative team of Sheik, Jarrow, and Tresnjak. Curious to hear thoughts!
