Kevin Emrick and Taylor S. Harris are pleased to announce the New York premier of THE GREENWOOD TREE, a new musical by Will Reynolds at NYMF. Signature Theatre's Matthew Gardiner directs the two-night concert at the 45th Street Theatre (354 West 45th Street) on September 30th at 8:00pm and October 2nd at 4:30pm.
Nikki Renée Daniels (Les Miserables, Aida), Jeremy Jordan (Rock of Ages), Martin Moran (Spamalot, Bells Are Ringing, Titanic) and Broadway newcomer Hunter Herdlicka headline a cast that features Theresa McCarthy (Titanic, Floyd Collins) and also includes Amy Justman (Company, White Christmas), Andres Quintero (Giant), Stephen Schellhardt (Altar Boyz - National Tour) and Mariand Torres (Giant). Andy Einhorn is Music Director.
THE GREENWOOD TREE is a new musical based on the poetry of Shakespeare with music and concept by Will Reynolds. Sparks fly when a brilliant young poet (Herdlicka) falls victim to Puck's (Moran) notorious flower and enters a love triangle with his songwriting best friend (Jordan) and a beautiful woman named Sylvia (Daniels). With the passion and poetry of Shakespeare's sonnets and a soaring, acoustic score, bask under THE GREENWOOD TREE and savor a modern love story laced with classical seduction.
THE GREENWOOD TREE was originally performed at Carnegie Mellon in the first year of the School of Drama's Playground: A Festival of Independent Student Work. The creative team for THE GREENWOOD TREE will include Adam Koch (Scenic Consultant) and Jake DeGroot (Lighting Design). Additional creative team information and other listings information for THE GREENWOOD TREE will be announced in the coming weeks.
