THE GREEN ROOM 42 - Broadway's newest intimate concert venue - just presented Broadway's High School Throwback.
Class is in session and your Homecoming King and Queen, Jacob ben Widmar (Book of Mormon, Xanadu) and Steffanie Leigh (Mary Poppins, War Paint) turn back the clock to a simpler time. A time before college, before conservatories, before agents, managers, doubt and fear. Your favorite Broadway performers relive their glory days in the roles they slayed in High School; a time they were unstoppable and filled with confidence, excitement, hope and a Capri Sun because there was no time for Taco Bell...I'M IN TECH
Who doesn't love a 17 year old Auntie Mame? Life's a Banquet, Bitches! A High School Senior asking her dead husband to let her go before the parade passes by? SOLD! A captain with seven children, what's so fearsome about that? NOTHING for this gal who just got her braces off!
Featuring everyone voted most likely to succeed: Tony Nominee Grey Henson (Mean Girls, Book of Mormon), Ellyn Marie Marsh (Pretty Woman, Kinky Boots), Bonnie Milligan (Head Over Heels), Hayley Podschun (Wicked, Hello, Dolly!), Jelani Remy (Lion King), Cody Jamison Strand (Book of Mormon), Alysha Umphress (On the Town, American Idiot). Music direction by resident band geek Trevor Pierce!
