'Adding Machine' Extended at Minetta Lane Through Summer

The critically acclaimed Off Broadway hit Adding Machine will extend through August 31 at the Minetta Lane Theatre (18 Minetta Lane), it was announced today by the show's producers.  On the heels of rhapsodic reviews, Adding Machine has just received 4 Outer Critics Circle Award Nominations (including Outstanding New Off Broadway Musical), 6 Lucille Lortel Award Nominations (including Outstanding Musical) and a Drama League Award Nomination (for Distinguished Production of a Musical).
 
In addition, the recently recorded PS Classics cast album will go on sale exclusively at the theatre and online at www.psclassics.com on May 20, two weeks ahead of the June 3 street date.
 
Direct from a smash World Premiere at Chicago's Next Theatre Company last season (winning the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Musical), Adding Machine features a score by Joshua Schmidt and a libretto by Jason Loewith and Mr. Schmidt.  Under the direction of David Cromer, Adding Machine stars Cyrilla Baer as 'Mrs. Zero,' Joel Hatch as 'Mr. Zero' and Amy Warren as 'Daisy' (all reprising their acclaimed performances from the original production).  The featured cast includes Joe Farrell as 'Shrdlu,' Jeff Still as the 'Boss,' Adinah Alexander as 'Mrs. Two,' Niffer Clarke as 'Mrs. One,' Roger E. DeWitt as 'Mr. Two' and Daniel Marcus as 'Mr. One.'
 
Darkly comic and heartbreakingly beautiful, Adding Machine, a musical adaptation of Elmer Rice's incendiary 1923 play, tells the story of Mr. Zero, who after 25 years of service to his company is replaced by a mechanical adding machine.  In a vengeful rage, he murders his boss.   An eclectic score gives passionate and memorable voice to this stylish and stylized production, which follows Zero's journey to the afterlife in the Elysian Fields where he is met with one last chance for romance and redemption.
 
Adding Machine is produced Off Broadway by Scott Morfee, Tom Wirtshafter and Margaret Cotter and features scenic design by Takeshi Kata, lighting design by Keith Parham, costume design by Kristine Knanishu, sound design by Tony Smolenski, projection design by Peter Flaherty, properties design by Michele Spadaro and musical direction by J. Oconer Navarro.
