Find The Golden Bird, a new musical with book and lyrics by Larry R. Yates and music by Emily Rose Simons, gets its world premiere at the Thespis Festival in New York this month.
The Off-Broadway bound tuner, directed by Faith Connor, will star singer/songwriter Brady Cudmore, Emily Wexler (Hair, The Fantastics) and Anthony Logan Cole (Les Miserables, Jekyll and Hyde, Beauty and the Beast - pictured).
The cast also features Scot Cahoon, Zachary Steinman, and Mami Kimura with Nina Deacon, Kevin S. Piñero, Kelly Coalson, Kareem Elsamadicy, Nina Deacon, and Aaron Moses Robin.
Find The Golden Bird tells the tale of Prince Kaj (Cudmore) who is tasked by his father King Alf (Steinman) to return the mystical Golden Bird and save the kingdom. Kaj, with the help of a mysterious talking fox Vicki (Wexler), must overcome trolls, his vicious brothers Tor (Cole) and Bjorg (Cahoon), and the seductive Candela (Kimura) to complete his quest. Find The Golden Bird is a powerful and epic testament to the power of love.
Find The Golden begins performances tonight, July 14th with musical direction by Leigh Pomeranz and choreography by Stine Moen.
