Angela Christian will star as Cherie in Rubicon Theatre Company's production of William Inge's Bus Stop. Directed by Brian McDonald, the show will run February 21-March 16, with an opening set for February 23.
According to press notes: "Bo can rope a steer and ride a bronco better'n anyone. But when he goes to the big city with his friend Vern to ride in the rodeo, he gets his heart hogtied by a chanteuse name Cherie (Marilyn Monroe in the film version). He decides to haul her off to his ranch in Montana to get hitched. But she'll have none of it. When the two find themselves stranded with fellow bus travelers at a diner during a Kansas snowstorm, Cherie gains the sympathy of the town sheriff and tires to escape. Set in the 1950s,
Bus Stop is a tenderhearted exploration of longing, loss and love."
The design team will include Thomas S. Giamaro (sets and lighting), David Beaudry (sound), and Marcy Froehlich (costumes).
Christian originated the title role in the West End production of
The Woman in White, which she reprised on Broadway, and was nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award for
Thoroughly Modern Millie
