Ryan Scott Oliver and Matthew Murphy's 35mm Adds Performance, Records Cast Album

Producer John Johnson announced today that 35mm A Musical Exhibition, written by Ryan Scott Oliver based on the photography of Matthew Murphy, has added a new, final performance on Wednesday, March 14 at 8:00 p.m. due to popular demand.  The upcoming performance on Monday, March 12 is now completely sold out.  35mm is playing at Brooklyn's Galapagos Art Space (16 Main Street, DUMBO).  

The original cast recording of 35mm, produced by Dean Sharenow and Ryan Scott Oliver, is being recorded today in New York, and is set to be released in May on Sh-K-Boom Records. 

Directed by Jeremy Bloom, 35mm features a cast of five that includes Alex Brightman (Wicked), Ben Crawford (Shrek), Jay Armstrong Johnson (Hair), and Lindsay Mendez (Godspell), and Betsy Wolfe (Everyday Rapture).

Representing a collision of artistic disciplines as disparate as musical theater, photography, and pop/rock music, 35mm pushes the limits of self-expression to create an art form utterly its own.  A collection of "snapshot stories" are woven together as each of the evening's original songs is performed – with gusto and musical virtuosity – while the audience is immersed in stunning projections of the photography that inspired it.  35mm brings the connection between pleasures visual and aural into razor-sharp focus, creating a singular, multi-sensory emotional journey.

35mm features Projection Design by Aaron Rhyne, Costume Design by David Withrow, Music Direction by Michael Borth, and a band that includes Matt Hinkley on Acoustic/Electric Guitars, Allison Seidner on Electric Cello, Rich Silverstein on Keyboard,Hiroko "Coco" Taguchi on Electric Violin/Viola, and Jeremy Yaddaw on Drums/Percussion. 

Tickets are $20 ($25 at the door), and can be purchased at www.galapagosartspace.com.  For more information go to www.35mmthemusical.com.
