Award-Winning Family Musical Based on Gogol's Tale Comes to Landmark Russian Theater for One Night Only

THE NOSE, a whimsical new family musical by Kit Goldstein Grant, will play Brooklyn's famous Master Theater (formerly known as the Millennium Theater) for one night only following its sold-out premiere at the Workshop Theatre in Midtown Manhattan last summer. The New York Times warns readers, "you may feel that a part of your body has a mind of its own!"

THE NOSE tells us about petty bureaucrat Kovalyov's crazy journey to regain his sniffer and his social position after his nose jumps off his face and masquerades around St. Petersburg as a high-ranking official.

Based on Nikolai Gogol's famous tale, The Nose entertains with Russian-flavored music, family-friendly humor, and an eye-popping production, while featuring themes and lessons that resonate from Imperial Russia to modern-day America.

THE NOSE is written and composed by Juilliard/BMI Musical Theater Workshop trained, award-winning composer Kit Goldstein Grant. Ms. Goldstein Grant spent eight years writing musicals for The Schenectady Theater for Children. Her musicals have been lauded for being kid-friendly shows that are just as fun for adults.

Director Michael Chase Gosselin and music directors Matthew Bennis & Karl Hedrick helm this production, which features performers Dakota Dutcher, Kayla Friend, Christopher Michaels, Adrian Rifat, and Sarah Statler alongside set design by Justin and Christopher Swader, lighting design by Jamie Roderick, costume design by Courtney Butt, and props by Christopher Kavanah. Members of this cast and creative team have worked across Broadway and off-Broadway, including shows such as Aladdin, School of Rock, An American in Paris, The Great Comet, and more.

THE NOSE won second prize in the Jackie White Memorial National Children's Playwriting contest and was a finalist in the Helen-Jean Play Contest. In addition to its critically-acclaimed run last summer, THE NOSE was presented in a successful staged reading at the National Opera Center, a developmental reading at The Playground Experiment, and was workshopped at Theater Resources Unlimited.

THE MASTER THEATER is a world famous 1,326-seat theater located in South Brooklyn's Russian heart. Amongst fun-loving residents across of Brooklyn and members of Russian communities across the Tri-State Area, the Master Theater is a household name. Notable artists and groups who have performed at The Master include Ray Charles, Jackie Mason, Engelbert Humperdinck, Russian violinist Vladimir Spivakov, and violist Yuri Bashmet.
