Will Swenson To Guest Star in NYMF's R.R.R.E.D., 10/8

Hair's Will Swenson will be making a guest cameo appearance in the New York Musical Theatre Festival's production of R.R.R.E.D. on Thursday, October 8th at 11:00pm.

Previous guest appearances have been made by stage celebs such as Tovah Feldshuh.  In R.R.R.E.D, it is 2005 and the Oxford Hair Foundation predicted that due to globalization & population intermixing, by the year 2100, the recessive gene which causes red hair would be extinct.  In the year 2009, redheads have taken matters into their own hands and revolt to save their gene pool.  

Based on a true study, R.R.R.E.D. features music & lyrics by Katie Thompson and a book by Adam Jackman, Patrick Livingston & Katie Thompson.  The musical is directed by Andy Sandberg, with music supervision by Charlie Alterman.  It is produced by Shea Sullivan with Patrick Livingston & Katie Thompson, featuring Nathan Balser & Kathy Deitch.

Will Swenson has appeared on Broadway in Lestat, 110 in the Shade & Brooklyn. He created the role of Stacee Jaxx in the musical Rock of Ages but did not perform the role on Broadway because he was offered the starring role of Berger in the Broadway revival of Hair, for which he was Tony nominated for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical. Swenson played the role in the Off-Broadway 40th Anniversary concert version opposite Karen Olivo & was again cast as Berger in The Public Theatre's revival of the show in Central Park. He also played Sir Sagramore in Camelot at Lincoln Center & Chris in the 2nd National Tour of Miss Saigon.
