New Musical HAD IT BLUE, Directed by Jerry Dixon, Wins Top Prize at New York Theater Festival

New York Theater Festival has announced the new musical HAD IT BLUE as its 2022 Winterfest winner for Best Production.

The New York Theater Festival, now in its 25th year, presented 88 productions in October/November 2022 at the Off-Broadway venue Teatro LATEA. HAD IT BLUE played October 17 - 23, ultimately tying for the top award of Best Production with To All the Black Girls Who've Waited.

Book and lyrics for HAD IT BLUE are by Paul Pecorino, with music by David Nehls (The Great American Trailer Park Musical). HAD IT BLUE tells the story of The Barman. The Barman is our hero, but a hero flawed. Claiming to be The Barman's biggest fans, four lovely Goddesses of Fabulosity, The Muses of the Moonshine, take The Barman on a 'yellow brick road' journey that could lead our 'hero to zero' to a most untimely end.

The cast for HAD IT BLUE at the New York Theater Festival featured William Angel Bailey (Freckleface Strawberry), Amie Bermowitz (Ruthless!), Kim Maresca (Ruthless! Off-Broadway & London's West End), Ariana Morales (Mamma Mia!), Paul Pecorino, Madison Timm (Company) and Ryan Williams (Evil Dead), under the direction of Jerry Dixon (Broadway's Once on This Island, Five Guys Named Moe, If/Then) with choreography by William Angel Bailey.

As actors, Paul Pecorino and David Nehls tread the boards in the European Tour of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show, with Paul as Frank 'N' Furter and David as Riff Raff. As composer/lyricist, David supplied music and lyrics for the international sensation The Great American Trailer Park Musical. Paul most recently starred in the long-running Ruthless! The Musical Off-Broadway as Sylvia St. Croix.
