ROCKWELL TABLE AND STAGE presents "Just Come To This: The Songs of Adam Wachter" on Monday, May 23 at 8:00pm. The evening will feature works by up-and-coming musical theater composer/lyricist Adam Wachter, including original songs from his musicals Tarrytown and Zionsville, along with other favorites and new material written specifically for this night, all performed by a starry group of his obscenely talented, generous, and attention-hungry Broadway- and Television-star friends who have since all defected to the West Coast.

Blake Silver (Spring Awakening) directs the concert, which will feature performances by Vanessa Ray ("Pretty Little Liars," "Blue Bloods"), Megan Reinking ("Boardwalk Empire," Nicole Parker ("MadTV," Wicked), Marla Mindelle (Cinderella, Sister Act), David Hull ("My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," Wicked), Wesley Taylor (The Addams Family, "Smash"), Tom Lenk ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Rock of Ages), Alex Ellis (Catch Me If You Can), Teya Patt (Carrie), Jonathan Raviv (The Light in the Piazza), and Chris Meissner (Grease: Live!, Carrie).

"Just Come To This: The Songs of Adam Wachter" plays Rockwell Table & Stage (1714 N. Vermont Ave, Los Angeles 90027) on Monday, May 23 at 8:00pm. There is a $15-30 ticket price and two item food or beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at http://rockwell-la.com/.

Adam Wachter is a composer/lyricist and music director based in NYC. He scored the film "Are You Joking" and the web series "My Day," "The Battery's Down," and "Submissions Only," for which he also wrote the theme. Adam's original children's audio musical "Denny the Dinosaur: Hear Me Roar" (written with AnnMarie Milazzo) recently won the 2016 Parents' Choice Award for Storytelling. He arranged and music directed the hit show Old Jews Telling Jokes, both Off-Broadway and in Chicago, and orchestrated the PBS documentary "Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy." Adam's other music directing and keyboard credits include Finding Neverland, Allegiance, The Addams Family, Peter Pan, Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Unlock'd, the Off-Broadway revival and La Mirada productions of Carrie, the world premiere musicals Dog and Pony (The Old Globe) and Girlstar (Signature Theatre Company). In concert, he has accompanied Lea Michele, Trisha Yearwood, Jonathan Groff, Alysha Umphress, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Norm Lewis, Brent Barrett, Stephanie J. Block, Melinda Doolittle, Karen Olivo, and many more. Adam's original musical Tarrytown will receive its world premiere in 2017 in San Diego and his short film "Sign," directed by Andrew Keenan-Bolger, makes its world premiere in July at a film festival to be announced soon.
