Friday, October 15, 2010 (New York City) The show "PERFECT HARMONY" which was locked out of its recent theater at the 45 Bleecker Street theater complex on Wednesday, just ahead of its official opening this weekend (October 17) has found a new home on Theatre Row. It will now be performed and open at The Acorn Theatre, 410 West 42nd Street (between 9th and 10th Avenues). Performances at The Acorn begin this coming Thursday, October 21, and the new official opening night will be Wednesday, October 27 at 8:00 p.m. (It will play a Tuesday through Sunday schedule: Tuesdays at 7 p.m.; Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and matinees on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m.) Tickets for the Off-Broadway run of "Perfect Harmony" at The Acorn are available through Telecharge at 212-239-6200.
General Manager Erika Feldman for Theatre Row Theatres is thrilled to have "PERFECT HARMONY" back at the complex after its having performed a successful, sold-out, extended run in the summer of 2008.
The ten member cast remains the same: Dana Acheson (Melody McDaniels), Faryl Amadeus (Valerie Smooter), Clayton Apgar (Jasper Mergh), Marie-France Arcilla (Kerri Taylor/Tobi McClintoch), David Barlow (Simon Depardieu/Goran Dhiardeaubovic), Kate Morgan Chadwick (Michaela Dhiardeaubovic/Kiki Tune), Jarid Faubel (JB Smooter), Kobi Libii (Phillip Fellows V), Kelly McCreary (Meghan Beans), and Robbie Collier Sublett (Lassiter A. Jayson III).
The show is written by Andrew Grosso and The Essentials, and directed by Mr. Grosso.
"PERFECT HARMONY" (www.perfectharmonyrocks.com) is a comedy about the greatest singing group in high school history, seventeen-time national champions, The Acafellas. It's also about their classmates and female counterpart, perennial runners up, The Ladies in Red. Through song and story, we see these students grapple with the weighty issues of truth, love, what constitutes appropriate choreography for Nationals - and ultimately we learn not just about these students but also about the true nature of harmony.
The sets are designed by Nick Francone; the costumes by Becky Lasky; and the lighting by Brian M. Jones. The original vocal arrangements are by Ray Bailey and Adam Wachter, both of whom also serve as musical directors for the production. The show will also include an original song by Alec Duffy. The casting is by Geoff Josselson.
