Mullet Hall-of-Fame for 'Bernice' Ticket Holders

Producer Steven Ullman has announced that any ticket holder who shows up to a performance of Bernice Bobs Her Mullet, the new musical which will debut at this year's New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF), wearing a mullet (real or fake!), will be inducted into the 'Bernice's Mullet Hall of Fame' at the Julia Miles Theatre.

At each performance of Bernice Bobs Her Mullet, there will be a photographer in the lobby, snapping shots of everyone with a mullet (real or fake!).  Every photo will go in the 'Mullet Hall of Fame,' and the winner, selected nightly by the producer, will win a Bernice Bobs Her Mullet T-Shirt and get to take a post-performance photo with the show's star, Garrett Long – Bernice herself!

The musical, written by Joe Major and directed by Andy Sandberg, is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's popular story "Bernice Bobs Her Hair."  The musical will play six performances at the Julia Miles Theatre (424 West 55th Street) September 19 – 30, 2007.

The cast includes Garrett Long as the title character, Nick Cearley, Katrina Rose Dideriksen, Hollie Howard, Jeff Hiller, Ann Morrison, Brandon Wardell and Lauren Worsham.

"Bernice Bobs Her Mullet tells the story of a young redneck who leaves her Podunk hometown to experience life in the big city... of Little Rock, Arkansas.  It isn't long before Bernice discovers the scariest part of urban living... spoiled teenagers!  Soon, Bernice gets swept up in the glamour and politics of popularity and learns the hard way that you shouldn't let it go to your head."

The design team for Bernice Bobs Her Mullet includes Shea Sullivan (choreographer), Charles Corcoran (sets), Herrick Goldman (lighting), Ryan Rossetto (costumes), Justin Hatchimonji (music director) and Kim Douglas Steiner (music supervisor).
