The show opened on August 27th, 2008 With music by Richard Oberacker and book and lyrics by Robert Taylor and Richard Oberacker, ACE was directed by Signature's Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer with choreography by Karma Camp. Set just after WWII, ACE is an epic story of a young boy's search to come to terms with his past and unlock his future. A tale of triumph, humor, and heart as seen through a child's eyes, ACE magically explores the heroic lives and unforeseen legacies of the men and women of America's Greatest Generation.
11-year old newcomer Dalton Harrod played the role of Danny. Jill Paice, lauded for her performances in London's Gone with the Wind and Broadway's Curtains and The Woman in White, played Danny's mother Elizabeth. The character Ace was performed by Matthew Scott of Broadway's Jersey Boys and A Catered Affair. Danny's foster parents were played by Emily Skinner of Broadway's Side Show and Signature's Witches of Eastwick, and Duke Lafoon from the original production of ACE. Broadway regular and Witches of Eastwick star Christiane Noll was Ruth and Jim Stanek of Broadway's Lestat and Little Woman was John Robert. The social worker Mrs. Crandall was played by Florence Lacey of Signature's Saving Aimee. Danny's friend Emily was played by Angelina Kelly. Performing in the ensemble were Richard Barth, Tom Galantich, Tracy Lynn Olivera, Jason Reiff, Danny Rothman, Elizabeth Share, and Gabrielle Stravelli.Photos by Walter McBride/Retna Ltd.
