Angela Grovey, Danielle K. Thomas, et al. Set for THIS ONE GIRL'S STORY at NYMF

The New York Musical Theater Festival and Aaron Glick present This One Girl's Story, a new musical with book by Bil Wright (LAMI Award Winning Playwright and Novelist) and music and lyrics by Dionne McClain-Freeney (TruPraise Gospel Ensemble).

The musical, inspired by actual events, will be directed by Jeremy Dobrish (Signs of Life, Spain, Election Day) and choreographed by renowned music video choreographer Tanisha Scott (Beyonce's Upgrade You, Alicia Keys and Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind, Rihanna's LOUD World Tour).

The production will feature: Angela Grovey (30 Rock, Wig Out), Zonya Love Johnson (Celie in The Color Purple on Broadway), Danielle K. Thomas (Gary Coleman in Avenue Q on Broadway), Desiree Rodriguez (Barrio Girrl! Nat'l Tour), Jade Hicks (Rent Nat'l Tour) and Antonio Edwards Suarez (American Buffalo on Broadway).

This One Girl's Story is the journey of Patrice and her friends - four young women in search of a drama-free night filled with dancing and maybe a little romance - hopefully not with yet another W.G.F.M ("Wrong Girl For Me"). They've ditched their troubles in Newark to party in the Big City, but a shocking incident forces them to face difficult truths about themselves. This powerful musical combines R&B, jazz, gospel, and hip-hop to sing a tale of love and courage.
The production will have lighting design by Jeff Croiter (The Pee-Wee Herman Show, Next Fall), sound design by Jill B.C. Du Boff (Other Desert Cities, Good People), scenic design by Caleb Levengood (associate designer Wonderland, Oleanna) and costume design by Josh Quinn (assistant designer Finian's Rainbow). Additional arrangements and music direction are by J. Oconer Navarro. The production stage manager is Carly J. Price.

This One Girl's Story will play the McGinn-Cazale Theater 2162 Broadway @ 76th Street from September 27 - October 9.

The performance schedule is: September 27 at 8pm, September 28 at 1pm, September 30 at 8pm, October 2 at 4:30pm and 8pm, October 5 at 4:30pm and October 9 at 8pm.
