"Gird Your Loins!" American actress and singer, Rumer Willis will be joining the cast of "The Unauthorized Musical Parody of The Devil Wears Prada" starring as Andy Sachs. Originally set for a three-month run, due to popular demand the show has been extended to the end of May at Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles.
"I think to be a part of a production that is taking a successful film and broadening the scope of how you can enjoy theatre is a really cool and unique experience. Plus I'm a huge fan of the director and wanted to be a part of his project," Willis said.
Willis joins Kelley Jakle ("Pitch Perfect") and Lana McKissack ("Four Rooms") who will all alternately portray Andy, the fresh-faced assistant who must endure her employer's wrath in the fast paced world of high fashion. Willis's first performance will be on Friday, April 22nd.
Hot on the heels of its wildly successful UNAUTHORIZED MUSICAL PARODIES OF SCREAM, CRUEL INTENTIONS, CLUELESS and HOME ALONE, Rockwell weaves in its signature brand of campiness and musical zaniness to the hit 2006 movie about the boss everyone loves to hate. This all-new, live parody production was co-adapted by Ray Wetmore and directed by Tye Blue.
In addition to its seam-splitting hijinks and hilarious musical score, Rockwell pushes things over the top once again. Actors Drew Droege ("Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse") and John Flynn ("Upright Citizen's Brigade") alternately play the maniacal role of Miranda Priestly, The Devilishly demanding and narcissistic editor-in-chief of fashion bible Runway Magazine.
"Everyone can relate to how crazy it can be to work for the boss from hell," said Executive Producer and Co-Adapter Kate Pazakis. "Our Unauthorized Musical Parody of The Devil Wears Prada dials the craziness up a notch, leaving you laughing down the catwalk. In fact, Rockwell's wardrobe department has been working overtime to create amazingly clever wardrobe and costumes for Miranda that will keep you in stitches."
Tickets are on sale now for Thursday-Saturday night shows and Sunday brunch matinees through the end May. Rockwell: Table & Stage is located in Los Feliz at 1714 N. Vermont Ave, Los Angeles. For more information, visit www.rockwell-la.com.
