WGHT New Radio Show 'Curtain Call' Interviews Anika Larsen

WGHT Radio (1500AM), North Jersey's oldies station, has just launched "Curtain Call," a new program covering the NY & NJ theater scene.  Morning host Teisha Bader will be interviewing stars of Broadway, Off-Broadway and local theaters (including Paper Mill) every Wednesday at 9:30AM.  Up this week on November 21 is Anika Larsen, currently appearing in the Broadway hit Xanadu, and soon to star Off-Broadway in Serenade.  The interview can be heard live at www.ghtradio.com.

Serenade is a new musical with book and lyrics by Tony Award winner Rachel Sheinkin, beginning Saturday, December 1 through December 15 at Teatro La Tea, 107 Suffolk Street (between Delancey & Rivington).  The kinetic score for Serenade, composed by Nils Olaf Dolven, mixes electronica, pop and classical elements.

Serenade follows a young silhouette maker on his odyssey of discovery after arriving in the big city.  The musical journey propels him through all the adventures, struggles, and the first flush of love he experiences in this new and strange metropolis.  Anika Larsen and Joshua Henry head the 18-member cast, under the direction of April Nickell.  The choreographer for Serenade is Luis Salgado and the musical director is Jared Stein.

Anika Larsen's other Broadway credits include Rent and All Shook Up.  She appeared Off-Broadway in Zanna, Don't!, Miracle Brothers and How to Save the World and Find True Love in 90 Minutes.
