Brandon Andrus & More Set for Prospect Theater Company's BY THE NUMBERS Tonight

Prospect Theater Company presents By The Numbers, a part of the company's new IGNITE Series at The Times Center, featuring today's new voices shaping the future of musical theater. This one-night-only concert event will be tonight, June 27th at 8pm.

The evening features the world premiere performance of 12 "micro-musicals" created in Prospect's 2015 Musical Theater Lab. Each of these original, hot-off-the-presses musical theater shorts runs under seven minutes, and has been inspired by a number -- one through twelve -- creating a song cycle collectively written over the lab's month-long time span by participating composers & lyricists.

The concert will feature an ensemble cast of 24, including Prospect alumni and newcomers: Brandon Andrus (Broadway's Side Show, Illyria), Ally Bonino (Myths and Hymns), Sarah Corey (Illyria), Jesse Carrey, Jennifer Fouché (Sistahs), Jillian Gottlieb (Unlock'd), Chris Gunn (Unlock'd), Laura Hankin (I Married Wyatt Earp), Amy Jo Jackson (Prospect's Nymph Errant), Jaygee Macapugay (The Rockae), Rita Markova (The Hidden Sky), Toren Nakamura, Damian Norfleet (Marco Polo), Jay Paranada (APAC's Merrily We Roll Along), Alex Parrish, Violet Prete, Rachel Rhodes-Devey (APAC's Merrily We Roll Along), Peter Saide (Death for Five Voices), Lucy Sorlucco (Evergreen), Vanessa Spica, Jason Veasey (For The Last Time), Anita Welch (For The Last Time), Sandy York (Sayonara), plus a special surprise Broadway guest!
