Today, the company met the press and below, BroadwayWorld brings you complete photo coverage of the event.
As previously reported, Alicia Keys will also write original music for the new play.
In Stick Fly, it was supposed to be a relaxing weekend at the family home on Martha's Vineyard... until the baggage got unpacked. Set at the elegant summer home of the well-to-do LeVay family, STICK FLY begins when two adult sons bring their significant others (one a fiancée, the other a new girlfriend) home to meet their parents for the first time. Soon, secrets are revealed, civilities are dropped and identities are explored in a harsh new light. Race and rivalry, class and family, all come together for an explosive comedy of manners about today's complex world.
The creative team for STICK FLY includes David Gallo (Scenic Design), Reggie Ray (Costume Design), Beverly Emmons (Lighting Design) and Richard Fitzgerald / Sound Associates (Sound Design).
STICK FLY will be produced on Broadway by Nelle Nugent, Alicia Keys, Samuel Nappi, Reuben Cannon, SHARON A. CARR/Patricia Klausner, Huntington Theatre Company, Dan Frishwasser,Sarahbeth Grossman, Charles Salameno in association with Joseph Sirola & Eric Falkenstein.
