Sherie Rene Scott Discusses The "Truth" In EVERYDAY RAPTURE

On May 2nd The Star-Ledger featured an article titled "'Everyday Rapture' is paradise for star Sherie Rene Scott" the article is written by Ronni Reich and begins:

"The idea of doing a one-person show was kind of a nightmare," says Sherie Rene Scott. "I'm a very private person."

This is the same Sherie Rene Scott starring in "Everyday Rapture," which takes the idea of a solo show and turns it into a full-blast musical experience, complete with flashing lights, backup singers and signature dance moves. She's also the same brassy-voiced diva to thrive in such attention-grabbing roles as Ursula in "The Little Mermaid" and Amneris in Elton John and Tim Rice's "Aida." And the same woman who, in her latest venture, openly shares hilarious, touching, detail-filled stories of a Mennonite childhood and of a journey to "semi"-stardom, complete with a candid announcement of her love of the audience's adoring gaze.

Everyday Rapture opened officially on April 29th, 2010 at the American Airlines Theatre On Broadway (227 West 42nd Street) to great reviews. Broadway Beat now brings you a sneak peek at all the fun and excitement of opening night!

Previews began on Monday, April 19th for Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway production of Everyday Rapture, the critically acclaimed new musical starring Sherie Rene Scott, by Dick Scanlan & Sherie Rene Scott and directed by Michael Mayer.

Everyday Rapture is the story of a young woman's psycho-sexual-spiritual journey on the rocky path that separates her mostly Mennonite past from her mostly Manhattan future. Her life takes her from the cornfields of Kansas to the clover fields of New York (with a disturbing detour through YouTube). Everyday Rapture also features songs made famous by David Byrne, Roberta Flack, Mister Rogers, The Supremes, Elton John, Tom Waits, U2 and Judy Garland.

The cast features Eamon Foley, Lindsay Mendez and Betsy Wolfe. The artistic team includes: Choreography by Michele Lynch, orchestrations & arrangements by Tom Kitt, music supervision by Michael Rafter and music direction by Marco Paguia. The design team includes Christine Jones (Sets), Tom Broecker (Costumes), Kevin Adams (Lights), Brian Ronan (Sound) and Darrel Maloney (Projections).

Everyday Rapture premiered at Second Stage on May 3rd, 2009. Due to unanimous critical acclaim, the production was extended twice beyond its limited engagement. Everyday Rapture has been nominated for two Lucille LortelAwards: Outstanding Musical & Outstanding Lead Actress (Sherie Rene Scott).
