Casting has been announced for Si Kahn and Amy Merrill's romantic musical comedy, Silver Spoon, which will be presented in two industry readings at Chelsea Studios on Wednesday, January 21 at 3:00pm and 7:00pm. David Glenn Armstrong directs Broadway veterans Nick Wyman (A Tale of Two Cities, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Sly Fox, Phantom, Les Mis?rables) and Madeleine Doherty (The Producers, Les Mis?rables) as two mismatched potential lovers. Wyman and Doherty occasionally appeared together in the original Broadway production of Les Mis?rables as the Th?nardiers and also played their Silver Spoon roles in an earlier reading at the York Theatre. Sandy Rustin (I See London I See France, Election Day, Modern Orthodox, I Love You, You're Perfect...) and Zal Owen (Ogunquit's Fiddler, High School Musical, Les Mis?rables) complete the four-person cast as young lovers from opposite sides of the East River. Ken Clifton (former resident musical director at Ogunquit and the Riverside Theatre) is the Musical Director/Arranger. Silver Spoon is a love story about the dividing lines of heritage and class - can true love span the elite reaches of the Upper East Side into the heart of pro-labor Brooklyn in 1960's New York? Two rebellious young lovers take a wild leap of faith against the outrageous protestations of their families.
