"SEE ROCK CITY & OTHER DESTINATIONS" OPENS OFF-BROADWAY AT THE DUKE JULY 25TH
Published 2010-07-25
Transport Group presents the Off-Broadway production of See Rock City & Other Destinations, which officially opens July 25 at The Duke on 42nd Street. The New York premiere began previews July 17 and will continue through August 8. The show, written by Brad Alexander (music) and Adam Mathias (book and lyrics), is an award-winning collection of musical vignettes about people traveling.
According to TG, "See Rock City & Other Destinations is a contemporary pop-rock musical road trip that ventures to tourist destinations across America, mapping out stories of sightseers in search of fellow travelers: a wanderer believes his destiny is written on rooftops along the North Carolina interstate; a young man yearns to connect with intelligent life in Roswell, New Mexico; a woman at the Alamo steps out of the shadow of her past to take a chance on love; estranged sisters cruise to Glacier Bay to scatter their father's ashes; high school boys face unexpected fears in a Coney Island spook house; and a terrified bride-to-be ponders taking the leap...over Niagara Falls. See Rock City & Other Destinations creates a vivid travelogue of moving characters and connections missed and made along the way."
The show features a cast of Stanley Bahorek (Broadway's Big River, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee); Donna Lynne Champlin (Broadway's Billy Elliot, Sweeney Todd, Obie Award winner for TG's The Dark at the Top of the Stairs); Jonathan Hammond (Broadway's Ragtime, OBIE Award winner and Drama League Award nominee for TG's The Boys in the Band); Ryan Hilliard (Off-Broadway's Grey Gardens, Godspell); Mamie Parris (Broadway'sRagtime, 110 in the Shade); Bryce Ryness (Drama Desk Award nominee for Broadway's Hair, TG'sCrossing Brooklyn); and Sally Wilfert (Make Me a Song, Broadway's Assassins).
The creative team includes set and costume designer Dane Laffrey; lighting designer R. Lee Kennedy; production stage manager Theresa Flanagan; and production manager Wendy Patten.
