Tristan Sturrock, recently seen on Broadway in BRIEF ENCOUNTER, has signed on to star opposite multi-platinum recording artist Deborah Cox, who previously starred on Broadway in AIDA, in the Broadway-bound musical JOSEPHINE, featuring music by three-time Grammy-nominee Steve Dorff, lyrics by Oscar and Golden Globe-nominee John Bettis, and book by Ellen Weston and Mark Hampton. Joey McKneely is set to direct and choreograph.

Four workshops of JOSEPHINE are set to run in New York City in June 1-3, 2011.

JOSEPHINE, which producer Ken Waissman developed from scratch after being inspired by the legendary African-American ex-patriot, is planned for Broadway in Spring, 2012.

JOSEPHINE workshops are not open to the public.

Venue, dates and additional credits for JOSEPHINE on Broadway are to be announced.
