Li'l Abner is being performed February 5 to 17 for 16 performances only at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA. The production will be directed by Michael Michetti, choreographed by Lee Martino, and has musical direction by Darryl Archibald.

Eric Martsolf and Brandi Lynn Burkhardt played Ethan Winthrop and Siren on NBC's "Passions."

Additionally, Eric has appeared in over 40 musicals and plays. Most recently, he starred in the new musical Knight Life and the new musical adaptation of Garry Marshall's Happy Days: The Musical.

Brandi Lynn Burkhardt's theatre credits include the role of Emma in the National Concert Tour of Jekyll & Hyde. Other theatre work includes The Music Of Frank Wildhorn, Oklahoma (Laurey), Bye Bye Birdie (Kim), and The Sound Of Music (Maria).? Burkhardt previously competed in the Miss Teen USA pageant, won the Miss New York pageant and finally competed for Miss America, where she performed Take Me As I Am, which she would later record on the album "Jekyll & Hyde - Resurrection."
