The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF), SenovvA, Inc., and the Remarkable Brass Group present Fellowship! the musical parody of "The Fellowship of the Ring"

This jaunt through Tolkien's fantasy world gives fans all of their favorite characters from
the hit film and book, with one big difference - this time they're funny. Fellowship! features
twelve original songs, from the over-the-top opening number with barefooted tap-dancing
Hobbits, to an elf-and-human '80s power ballad complete with a live guitar solo performed by the
rightful heir of Gondor. In another song, the Balrog (a terrifying creature of shadow and flame)
performs a sequin-studded New York cabaret number. The cast's credits include Mad TV, The
Sarah Silverman Program, David Spade's Show Biz Show, Hannah Montana and Kath & Kim,
among others.

For its premiere in 2005, Fellowship! won Musical of the Year and Best Comedy
Ensemble at the L.A. Weekly Theatre Awards. The show has been recognized on the West Coast
with such honors as Critic's Pick, Best Bet, and Pick of the Week. Most recently, Fellowship!
won a 2010 Saturn Award for it's run at Garry Marshall's Falcon Theater.

Arianna Knapp, Jon Kimbell, and a talented production team. Selected theatrical credits include
American Idiot, Memphis, [title of show], Catch Me if You Can, and Langston in Harlem. Recent
