International Hit Musical THRILL ME Returns with Reunion Concert

New York Theatre Barn will present the 12th Anniversary Reunion Concert of Stephen Dolginoff's hit musical Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story on Monday, August 28, 2017 at The Cell. Drama Desk nominee Stephen Dolginoff and Doug Kreeger (Les Miserables, Rooms) will reunite as Leopold & Loeb in the musical thriller, having co-starred together in the original 2005 Off-Broadway production and on the cast album. The concert will be a benefit for New York Theatre Barn, the company that helped launch Dolginoff's new musical Monster Makers. New York Theatre Barn's artistic director Joe Barros (Cagney, Gigi) directs, with Zachary Orts at the piano.

Thrill Me, with book, music & lyrics by Dolginoff, is based on the true story of Nathan Leopold & Richard Loeb, the so-called "thrill killers" who set out to commit the perfect crime in 1924, and discovered along the way that "relationships can be murder." The Off-Broadway production was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical and Best Music, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical. It has gone on to have over 150 productions in 16 countries - and in 10 languages. The benefit concert is presented with the special permission of Dramatists Play Service.

Showtime is 7PM at The Cell, located at 338 West 23rd Street in New York City. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased on New York Theatre Barn's website: www.nytheatrebarn.org. Seating is limited.
