Photo Flash: First Look at THE MOUSETRAP at Milwaukee Repertory Theater

Milwaukee Repertory Theater's 2015/16 Quadracci Powerhouse season continues with THE MOUSETRAP, a celebration of the 125th Anniversary of Agatha Christie's birth. Rep Favorite J.R. Sullivan directs a cast of stage veterans to realize Christie's masterfully woven plot, luring in audiences before delivering an unforgettable final twist! BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

A family-friendly whodunit, this classic has thrilled sold-out houses on London's West End for over 60 years. A murder is committed at a newly opened rooming house, and the snowbound hosts and guests-with the aid of a police inspector- must determine who the killer is before he or she strikes again.

The cast features Rep Associate Artist Jonathan Gillard Daly (Milwaukee Rep: Harvey, Cabaret, The Diary of Anne Frank; First Stage: Big Fish), now in his twentieth season as an actor at The Rep, as Major Metcalf; Lunt- Fontanne Fellow and Rep Associate Artist Laura Gordon (Milwaukee Rep: Good People, Harvey, Noises Off ) as Mrs. Boyle; and Greg Vinkler (three Joseph Jefferson Awards, two Artisan Awards, an After Dark Award; Broadway: West Side Story, 2009), the Artistic Director of Peninsula Players Theatre in Door County, as Mr. Paravicini. The cast also includes Milwaukee favorites Greta Wohlrabe (2010/11 Artistic Intern Ensemble Member; Milwaukee Rep: Venus in Fur, Clybourne Park, Cabaret) as Miss Casewell and Kelley Faulkner (Milwaukee Rep: Harvey, Noises Off, Ragtime, The Diary of Anne Frank, Cabaret, Always-Patsy Cline, Assassins) as Mollie Ralston. Rounding out the cast are Will Allan (Steppenwolf Theatre: Good People, Animal Farm; Goodman Theatre: The Seagull, Dartmoor Prison) as Detective Sergeant Trotter; Brendan Meyer (American Players Theatre: American Buffalo, Alcestis, Romeo and Juliet;Steppenwolf Theatre: Lord of the Flies) as Christopher Wren; and Matthew Mueller (Drury Lane Oakbrook: Peter and the Starcatcher; Utah Shakespeare Festival: Romeo and Juliet) as Giles Ralston.

Sullivan (Director); Jack Magaw (Scenic Designer); Rachel Laritz (Costumer Designer); Jason Fassl (Lighting Designer); Lindsay Jones (Sound Designer) Jill Walmsley Zager (Dialect Coach); Jamie Cheatham (Fight Choreographer); JC Clementz (Casting Director); Lurie Horns Pfeffer* (Stage Manager); and Anthony Poston* (Assistant Stage Manager)
