Musicals, on September 25th-26th. It is one of eight new musicals being presented in excerpted staged
readings,
and the 45-minute presentation will be performed on Monday Sept 26th at
11:15
AM and 2:30 PM at Dodger Stages Theater 2.
In Party Come Here, "A nervous groom, a statue of Christ, and a 500-year-old
Jewish
caveman converge to make miracles happen during a tropical storm on one
magical
night in Rio. Part farce, part fable, Party
Come Here tells the story of a collision of cultures as
tantalizing
as the sexiest city in the world. Mistaken identity, spirituality,
hope,
family, sex – all set to irresistible Latin rhythms. From the
author of Modern Orthodox
and the
composer of Summer of '42,
this
is an outrageous, original, outlandish, oddball, optimistic, ohmigod,
one-of-a-kind show," according to press notes.The show features a book by Goldfarb, and music and lyrics by David Kirshenbaum, and is directed by Lonny Price, with musical direction by Vadim Feichtner. The show stars Fyvush Finkel (Emmy Award-winner for "Picket Fences"), Hunter Foster (The Producers), Tracie Thoms (the upcoming film version of Rent), Megan Hilty (Wicked), Kaitlin Hopkins (The Great
American Trailer Park Musical) and Terrence Mann (Lennon), and also features Chelsea Krombach, Michelle Ricci, Caesar Samayoa and Jason Weston.
