Five CAP21 alumni will star in I'll Be Seeing You… a new World War II revue featuring such classic songs as "You'll Never Know," "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart," "Lazy Afternoon," and "Let's Take the Long Way Home."
I'll Be Seeing You… is, "At once a nostalgic reminiscence of an older musical form, and a first generation here-and-now artist's response to events of the past five years, and how they have changed the world in which we live today. On the surface, the piece follows three soldiers as they head off to join the war effort overseas. Underneath, the piece explores the idea of escape and the various ways in which we deal with and express the fear that accompanies war."
The show features a young cast of performers, all of whom trained at CAP21 Studios in New York City as part of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts undergraduate acting program.
The cast includes Ben Kaplan, Elizabeth Kerins, Rick Merpi, Tripp Pettigrew, and Jennifer Russo.
