Frances Ruffelle To Star in West End Revival of LaChiusa's THE WILD PARTY

Baz Bamignoye of The Daily Mail has reported that Les Miserables original 'Eponine', Frances Ruffelle, will star in a West End revival of Michael John LaChiusa's jazz age musical drama, THE WILD PARTY.

Ruefelle is set to star as 'Queenie' in the musical, which features music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa and a book co-written by George C. Wolfe.

Bamigboye reports that the revival will open at The Other Palace for a limited run from February 11th- April 1st 2017. Drew McOnie has signed on to direct and choreograph.

The Wild Party, where the gin and jazz is flowing and no one is exactly what they seem. Michael John LaChiusa and George C. Wolfe's gripping Tony-nominated musical, based on the scandalous 1928 poem of the same name by Joseph Moncure, follows the story of a reckless relationship between a Vaudeville clown and a chorine that spirals into the depths of despair as the night unfolds.
