Ferry's Landing NYC, a new entertainment destination at The Duplex in the West Village, has announced casting for its first attraction, Little House on the Ferry: The Musical. Performances will run October 15-January 5 at the Fire Island-themed space, with an official opening night set for October 30.
Little House on the Ferry features a book, music, and lyrics by Rob Gould, with direction by Victoria Rae Sook and choreography by Michael McCrary. The work follows a group of friends meeting up on Fire Island for a weekend, with the marriage equality vote in the New York Senate looming.
The cast will include Charles Osborne (Worst Cooks in America) as Randall, Andrew Leggieri (Bandstand) as Timothy, Troy Valjean Rucker (Romeo and Bernadette) as Jake, Christopher Harrod (The Gilded Age) as Donnie, Gilberto Saenz as Antonio, and drag queen Xana DuMe. It also features Kailin Brown (Chicago), Manuela Agudelo (The Running Show), and Kelsey Mourant (Shake & Bake) with Andre Jordan (Diana The Musical), Deon Oliverio (Pose), Andreas Wyder (The Bad Years), and Tym Moss.
Quenton Ellis serves as music director and Corey Kline is the music producer.
On each night of programming, Ferry's Landing NYC will also feature the Sultry Shores, a nautical cabaret with cirque stars, comedy, and powerful vocals; and Farandole, an after-hours dance party with a DJ and go-go dancers. The experience will reopen The Duplex's upstairs cabaret space, which has been closed due to fire damage since 2022.
Ferry's Landing NYC is produced by Gould and Fever Labs with and Ripple Effect Artists. Anthony Francavilla of FORM Theatricals serves as general manager. The producing team also includes Benjamin Feldman (Pippin, Company).
