The cast allegedly featured Tony winner Lena Hall (HEDWIG), Anthony Rapp (IF/THEN) and Bradley Dean (THE LAST SHIP).
In the audience were producers Lee Daniels, Daryl Roth, John Goldwyn, Scott Sanders and Rob Ashford.
GALILEO feaures music by Michael Weiner and lyrics by Adam Abraham. No word yet on the plot or contenders for the creative team, but BWW will keep you updated as we learn more about the project!
