A new take on a WILD PARTY showstopper!
Two-time Tony Award-winning Broadway superstar Sutton Foster joins with standout vocalist and performer James Wesley for a dynamic duet from Andrew Lippa's score for THE WILD PARTY, "Maybe I Like It This Way", in a new video clip now available to view.
Of note, Foster recently starred in the Encores! Off-Center production of THE WILD PARTY presented at City Center last weekend, July 15-19, and this video was recorded prior to the event when Foster was preparing for her role.
In the video, Foster and Wesley are accompanied by popular Broadway commentator, music director and accompanist Seth Rudetsky at the piano, as well.
Rudetsky notes, "Sutton asked James to sing the Burrs part so she could practice her Queenie Harmony. So fun!"
More information on Seth Rudetsky is available at his official site here.
More information on Encores! THE WILD PARTY is as follows: "Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party, adapted from the Jazz Age narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, is the story of one tragic, decadent night in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie (Foster) and her menacing lover Burrs (Steven Pasquale). The couple decides to throw the party to end all parties, where Queenie meets a handsome stranger (Brandon Victor Dixon) who wants to lure her away. The show opened at Manhattan Theatre Club on February 24, 2000 and played 54 performances."
