Following its sold out engagement, Atlantic Theater Company's critically acclaimed world premiere of David Pittu's comedy WHAT'S THAT SMELL: THE MUSIC OF JACOB STERLING transfers to an Off-Broadway run at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street). Performances begin Saturday, November 1, 2008.
The new comedy, written and performed by Tony Award® nominee
David Pittu (Is He Dead?, LoveMusik), co-starring
Peter Bartlett (The New Century), is co-directed by Pittu and Atlantic Artistic Director
Neil Pepe (Speed-the-Plow) with original music by
Randy Redd.
The Off-Broadway transfer will be produced by
Daryl Roth in association with Atlantic Theater Company (
Neil Pepe, Artistic Director;
Jeffory Lawson, Managing Director).
WHAT'S THAT SMELL: THE MUSIC OF JACOB STERLING is a hilarious musical parody that charts the career of eternally up-and-coming (and fictitious) musical theater composer Jacob Sterling (Pittu). A rare, up close and personal visit with an artist of questionable gifts who performs from his songbook and shares his human struggle to keep musical theater alive and well into the 21st century.
WHAT'S THAT SMELL: THE MUSIC OF JACOB STERLING features scenic design by
Takeshi Kata, costume design by
Martin Pakledinaz, lighting design by
Matthew Richards, sound design by
Jill DuBoff, projection design by
Dustin O'Neill, and production stage management by
Alison DeSantis.
