Full Lineup Announced for A LITTLE NEW MUSIC Next Week at Catalina Bar & Grill

A Little New Music (ALNM), now at the renowned Catalina Bar & Grill, invites Los Angeles to discover something new to love about musical theater. The Monday, June 27th concert marks ALNM's twelfth collaboration with emerging musical theater creators and performers from near and far.

Among the writers to be featured are Adam Overett (Lortel nominee WE THE PEOPLE: AMERICA ROCKS), Natalie Lovejoy (DEPLOYED), Andrew Gerle (MEET JOHN DOE), Amy Engelhardt (The Bobs, BASTARD JONES) & James Beaton (MAD SCIENTISTS), Katya Stanislavskaya (RESIDENT ALIEN), Blaskie & Hagopian (ASSISTANTS THE MUSICAL), Rob Rokicki (THE LIGHTNING THIEF), Wesley King, and more.

The talented cast of performers includes "MADtv" star Nicole Parker (B'way: Elphaba in WICKED, off B'way and LA: THESE PAPER BULLETS), Rhett George (B'way: MEMPHIS, THE LITTLE MERMAID), Emma Hunton (B'way: SPRING AWAKENING, Elphaba in Nat'l Tour WICKED), Nina Herzog (THE GREAT AMERICAN MOUSICAL), Matt Magnusson (BREAKING THROUGH at Pasadena Playhouse), Rena Strober (B'way: LES MIS, STONEFACE at Pasadena Playhouse), Jennifer Sun Bell ("My Super Psycho Sweet 16"), Cooper Howell (FROZEN THE MUSICAL), and Jordan Goodsell (ADDAMS FAMILY at 3-D Theatricals), with Rachel Burcham (Musical Theatre West's DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS), Jonathan Brett, and Cy Creamer.

The concert also features guest appearances by cast members Troy Iwata (THE LIGHTNING THIEF Nat'l Tour) and newcomer Sittichai Chaiyahat from the world premiere of THE BOY WHO DANCED ON AIR, by Tim Rosser & Charlie Sohne, currently playing at San Diego's Diversionary Theatre through June 12th. Plus, writing duo Brian Graden & Ben Boquist return to ALNM to debut two songs from their new album, and the original recording cast of new musical SWAN LAKE, by Peter Siebert & Patrick Lundquist, add to this special evening.

Finally, ALNM has just added a sneak peek from the cast of ORANGE IS THE NEW MUSICAL (the unauthorized parody), by Veronica Vasquez and Jared Goode opening 7/1 at Whitefire Theatre. Billed as "a raucous, irreverent, and stricly adults-only unauthorized musical parody of the popular TV series," the show returns to LA after a sold-out 2015 debut.

Comedian, actress, and writer Chris Farah ("Superstore," "Modern Family," "Chelsea Lately," solo show/cult character FANCY!) hosts the evening alongside the ALNM band and resident musical director Bryan Blaskie, currently at the helm of Celebration Theatre's sold-out run of THE BOY FROM OZ.
