Photos: MEDEA: A MUSICAL COMEDY At Actors' Temple

Opening this Saturday, October 19 at 8:00 p.m., see first look photos of the Off-Broadway premiere of Medea: A Musical Comedy, a campy and critically-acclaimed musical take on Euripides' MEDEA, written and directed by John Fisher, with Executive Producer Jon Zimmerman in association with Edmund Gaynes. The open ended run is currently being staged at Actors Temple Theatre, 339 West 47th Street in New York.

Fisher directs a cast of ten, including Jenna Arkontaky, Hunter Hope Barnett, Ryan Borgo-Christian, Anthony Chavers, John Fisher, Emily Sweeney Goldstein, Mike Kinzer, Darius Mullens, Laura Pachnos, and Bobby Weil. Standbys and understudies include Noah Hartwell, Daniel Kushner, Emerese Noel, and Joelle Smith.

Music Director Bobby Weil conducts on piano, with Ethan Gueldenzopf on drums.

Winner of six Bay Area Critics Circle Awards including “Best Musical,” the LA Weekly Award for “Best Musical,” and the GLAAD Media Award for “Best Theatre,” Medea: A Musical Comedy is the critically-acclaimed, kitschy musical version of Euripides' MEDEA. A theatre company is putting on a campy musical version of Medea. Paul, the super gay star and Elsa, playing the title role hate each other off-stage then suddenly find themselves falling in love, shockingly. The quintessential backstage story spirals out of control as the flamboyant director goes insane trying to keep the whole mess on track, with many twists, turns, and sequins along the way! Get tickets now and become one of thousands of theatregoers at one of the funniest and murderous musicals in town!
