Nashville Repertory Theatre is bringing some of the U.K.'s best to lead its upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Sunday in the Park With George, which will perform April 4–13, 2025, at Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
Leading the cast will be Olivier winner Laura Michelle Kelly (Mary Poppins) as Dot and David Shannon (The Phantom of the Opera) as George. The cast will also feature Nancy Allen as Old Lady, Sejal Mehta as Nurse, James Crawford as Jules, Carrie Brewer as Yvonne, James Rudolph as Boatman, Ian Frazier as Franz, Maria Logan as Frieda, Eric Sorrels as Soldier, Scott Rice as Mr., Christine Toole as Celeste #1, Mariah Parris as Celeste #2, and Brynn Pray as Louise.
"We are thrilled to have Laura and David join our cast," says Artistic Director Micah-Shane Brewer. "This show has always held a special place in my heart. When planning our 40th anniversary season, Sunday in the Park spoke to us as an excellent piece to produce to honor 40 years of creating art. Both Laura and David bring extraordinary talent and heart to these complicated roles, and I look forward to telling this story with them and the other talented cast members in this production."
Brewer will direct the new staging, with Steve Kummer music directing.
The production will close out the company's 40th anniversary season, which also includes productions of Waitress, Our Town, A Christmas Carol, and The Mountaintop.
