Charlie Pollock, Wesley Taylor, Lauren Molina, Patti Murin and More Lead NERDS Labs in NYC This Week

Nerds is headed back to to New York City! The musical will be presented in two workshop productions, slated for today and tomorrow, April 16 and 17, 2015. Casey Hushion (ELF) will direct, with choreography by Josh Bergasse ("Smash", ON THE TOWN).

NERDS had originally planned on invading Broadway this spring, but after a delay, the show seems to be aiming for a summer or fall 2015 debut on the Great White Way.

The labs will star Charlie Pollock (VIOLET), Wesley Taylor ("Smash"), Patti Murin (LYSISTRATA JONES), Kevin Pariseau (LEGALLY BLONDE), Rob Morrison, Lauren Molina (The Skivvies, ROCK OF AGES, SWEENEY TODD) and Benny Elledge (CHICAGO).

Pollock, Taylor, Molina, Pariseau and Elledge previously participated in a concert version of NERDS at 54 Below last summer.

Written by multiple Emmy Award Nominees Jordan Allen-Dutton and Erik Weiner (Adult Swim's "Robot Chicken", BOMBITTY OF ERRORS), with a score by Hal Goldberg (THE CHILDREN), NERDS is described as: "Before Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were the undisputed titans of technology, they were Nerds. Join America's favorite geeks -- from garage inventors to Silicon Valley mega-billionaires -- on a hilarious musical journey from the floppy disc era to the iPhone phenomenon."

NERDS was first presented by the Philadelphia Theatre Company in 2007, where it received Barrymore Awards for Outstanding Original Music and Outstanding New Play. In 2013, the show played limited engagements at North Carolina Theatre and again at Philadelphia Theater Company.

NERDS is produced by Carl Levin, Vicki Halmos and Elizabeth Williams.
