Photo Coverage: Shout! The Mod Musical Press Preview
By: Ben Strothmann Jun. 02, 2006
Shout! The Mod Musical
will make its New York debut this summer at the Julia Miles Theatre
(424 West 55 Street) with previews beginning July 11; opening night is
July 27. The cast and creators recently took part in a press preview for the show.
"Shout! flips
through the years like a musical magazine, tracking five young women as
they come of age during the liberating days of the 1960s that made
England swing. It is a non-stop journey through the infectious and
soulful pop anthems and ballads that made household names of stars like
Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield and Lulu," according to press notes. Shout!
uses letters to an advice columnist, true confessions, quizzes and
advertisements as a frame for hits like "To Sir With Love," "Downtown,"
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," "Son of A Preacher Man," and
"Goldfinger."Each young woman in the cast is identified by the
color of her costume, reflecting a composite personality: Marie-France
Arcilla (Blue), Erin Crosby (Yellow), Julie Dingman-Evans (Orange)
Erica Schroeder (Green), and Denise Summerford (Red). Shout!
is co-created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein. Lowenstein
choreographs and George directs, with additional material by Peter
Charles Morris and Phillip George.
The show will play Florida's
Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach
