New to The REV, Newsies is choreographed by Adam Dyer with musical direction by resident REV music director, Jeff Theiss. In its third slot, The REV is proud to produce the powerful and compelling, Bandstand, which tells the story of musician Donny Novitski who is about to take on the mission of his life: leading his band of fellow veterans into competition for America's next swing band sensation. Bandstand will feature choreography by Patrick O'Neill and music direction by Alexander Tom. In the closing spot, The REV will produce the new production of May We All - A New Country Musical. In association with Brian Kelley (best known as the Florida Half of Florida Georgia Line), his company, CuzBro Productions, Lively McCabe Entertainment, and BMG, May We All brings together several storylines about facing the music, rebuilding and chasing your dreams. Eric Ulloa comes aboard to helm the new book and Jeff Theiss will serve as music director.
