Charles Strouse new show

Posted: 5/7/06 at 11:52am

Have heard Charles Strouse's new show, YOU NEVER KNOW, has a reading in NY next week. His Gala is tonight for Encompass New Opera Theatre, hosted by Marian Seldes. I think there is a number being performed from the new show.

From what I know, Haviland Stillwell (from FIDDLER, and I think LES MIS this fall), Ben Steinfeld, and Paul Anthony Stewart (Guiding Light, Cyrano, Fiddler) are starring in it.

Thanks for the info. I'm a huge PAS fan and I was wondering what he has been up to these days.

Glad to hear he's working on a new show. He's one of the few remaining genuine melodists alive and working in the musical theatre.

I saw this show last spring, and although it definitely needed a lot of work at the time, it had some very good numbers. From what I remember, the second act was much stronger than the first, which was a little slow, but I'm sure it's being worked on. I liked the general idea of the show and I think with some time and work, it could be a pretty good show.

Hi I wondered where this information came from because I saw a casting call for You never know but it was for Boston Mass not NYC.
I am also a fan of Paul Anthony Stewarts and would love to see him in another Broadway show. He has a great voice and would do a great job in any musical.

I have a friend who went to the gala last night - Haviland Stillwell and Ben Steinfeld did a number from the show. Aparently they were very charming!

The reading is sometime next week, but I think it's small, and possibly only for industry folks.

Check out www.havilandstillwell.com and bensteinfeld.net -- maybe there will be more info there as the week progresses?
