VIDEO: First Look At TUCK EVERLASTING At Stages Theatre Company

Stages Theatre Company has announced the cast and creative team for TUCK EVERLASTING: THE MUSICAL, TYA. This 70-minute TYA version of the popular Broadway musical adaptation of Natalie Babbitt's classic novel asks the question, "What if you could live forever?".

Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster lives a sheltered life with her family in Tree Gap, New Hampshire, but yearns for adventure. When she unexpectedly crosses paths with the Tuck family, she discovers more than she could have imagined. After learning the secret behind the Tuck family's immortality, Winnie must protect the secret from those who would do anything for eternal life. In the end, she must choose between her own ordinary life or infinite adventure.

TUCK EVERLASTING was cast with performing understudies, which has created a new opportunity for the youth cast members to gain skills learning and performing two roles throughout the run. When asked about the experience Aidan Einhorn (JESSE) said "It's so common in professional theatre and something I have always wanted to learn. It is like having a partner in crime as you are getting familiar with the character. It's fun to be able to celebrate all the different takes on a certain role."

Unless there is a need, the primary cast will perform all shows, except for select planned performances. Schedule of the performances featuring the performing understudies are available HERE. During these performances, the primary role cast member will appear in the Ensemble. "We are so supportive of each other; I don't think I could do it without her." -Faith Barrett (WINNIE)
