NewsWild Party On! See Sutton Foster, Steven Pasquale, Brandon Victor Dixon and Fellow Party-ers Take Their First BowNew York City gets even hotter July 15-18. The Encores! Off-Center staging of Andrew Lippa's TheWild Party, which stars Tony Award winner Sutton Foster as Queenie, began performances Wednesday night at New York City Center.
Tonight's cast lineup is the result of several changes in recent weeks. Originally slated to star in the production were John Ellison Conlee, Ciara Renée and Kimiko Glenn.
Pasquale made his New York Stage debut in the original 2000 production of The Wild Party for MTC Theatre. He understudied the role of Burrs.
Lippa’s The Wild Party, adapted from the Jazz Age narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, "is the story of one tragic, decadent night in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie (Sutton Foster) and her menacing lover Burrs (Steven Pasquale). The couple decides to throw the party to end all parties, where Queenie meets a handsome stranger (Brandon Victor Dixon) who wants to lure her away."
All tickets begin at $25 and can be purchased at the New York City Center Box Office (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix at (212) 581-1212, or online at NYCityCenter.org.
