"Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" star Jenna Leigh Green (Wicked; Bare), Derek Klena (Dogfight; The Bridges of Madison County), current Pippin star Ariana DeBose (Bring It On; Motown), Laurissa Romain (South Pacific; co-star of the upcoming Chris Rock film Top Five), IBTA Award nominee Kimberly Faye Greenberg (Danny and Sylvia; One Night With Fanny Brice), Abigail Ludrof (Off-Broadway's Third Floor; The HVAC Plays), David Colston Corris (Avenue Q; Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson), newcomer Thomas Ian Johnson, and Rachael Fogle, the original star of Tim's musical Ghostlight, have joined the cast for Realbuto's Wunderkind tour when it makes its final New York stop at Joe's Pub on Sunday, November 2nd at 7:00 PM.

Realbuto, the award winning performer and co-writer of the Broadway-bound musical Ghostlight, has been touring his successful not-so-solo solo show about his life growing up in the theatre since July. New guest stars for the Joe's Pub show will be announced within the coming days. Matthew Martin, Tim's Ghostlight co-writer, is also scheduled to appear.

Wunderkind started in New York as Tim Realbuto: Alone (With Plenty of Help), which enjoyed a sold- out and critically acclaimed run at 54 Below in July. The re-named and revamped version made its first NYC tour stop at The Triad Theatre on Monday, September 1st, which happened to be Tim's 30's birthday. The tour continued on October 13th at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, and now ends on November 2nd at Joe's Pub, with plans to bring the show to Orlando in late December.

This is how 'Tim Realbuto: Wunderkind' is described: "Former child 'star' and current NYC based award-winning writer and performer Tim Realbuto (Ghostlight; The Emperor's Club) has just turned 30 and is struggling with where he fits in the world, where he has been and where he is going. In this deeply personal, poignant, and hilarious show Tim will tell the (mostly) true story of how he grew up in show business and went from former child actor to the adult writer of the popular new Broadway-Bound musical Ghostlight. Some of Tim's famous Broadway friends will help him along the way, playing different characters from his past, as well as the voices in his head. Expect an evening filled with plenty of well-known tunes, originals, diva impressions, gift giveaways, and special guest appearances from popular stars of stage and screen. Was Tim ever a wunderkind? Is it too late to become one now? Isn't that the funniest sounding word ever?"

'Tim Realbuto: Wunderkind' is written and conceived by Realbuto, with musical direction provided by Julianne B. Merrill.
