More tour dates have been added for the upcoming tour of James Kirkwood's claw-baring comedy Legends, featuring "Dynasty" co-stars Joan Collins and Linda Evans.
In addition to Collins and Evans, Legends will feature Joe Farrell as Martin Klemmer, Tonye Patano as Aretha, Will Holman as Boom-Boom and Ethan Matthews as the Cop. Erickson will serve as understudy in the role of Martin Klemmer, while Chaundra Cameron will do the same for the role of Aretha.
Legends is famous to theatre fans for having been a showcase for Carol Channing and Mary Martin, and for serving as basis for Kirkwood's (A Chorus Line) book Diary of a Mad Playwright. The play was to have moved to Broadway after a 23-city tour, but the legendary Martin withdrew from the production after one of her character's speeches--about breast cancer--was cut.
Collins appeared on Broadway in Private Lives. In addition to her role on the '80s primetime soap "Dynasty," she also acted in films such as The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing, The Opposite Sex, and Esther and the King. She also appeared as Potiphar's wife in the filmed version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Evans' films and TV credits include "Dazzle," "The Love Boat," "The Rockford Files" and Beach Blanket Bingo.The tour will feature sets by Jesse Poleshuck, costumes by Nolan Miller, and lighting Phil Monat.
Ben Sprecher, William P. Miller, Wendy Federman, Spring Sirkin, Max Cooper, David Mirvish and Ed Mirvish will produce Legends.
