MTG Announces Cast for Stop The World
Casting has been announced for Musical Theatre Guild’s first show of the 2009-2010 season, Stop the World – I Want To Get Off by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. Featured will be MTG members Robin DeLano, Jennifer Gordon, Tracy Lore, Melissa Lyons, Brandon Michael Perkins, Jeffrey Polk, Justin Robertson, Jennifer Shelton and Heather Hoppus-Werner.
It will be directed by Douglas Clayton, with musical direction by Ron Colvard and choreography by Joe Giamalva, and is produced by Scott Dreier and Michelle Duffy.
Set in the non-stop circus of life, Stop the World – I Want To Get Off focuses on the iconic Littlechap, whose first major step towards improving his lot is to marry his boss' daughter, Evie. After romancing Anya, Ilse and Ginnie (funny how they all look like Evie), Littlechap comes to ultimately realize that what he always had was what he wanted all along. The richly and melodiously packed score includes "Once In a Lifetime", “Gonna Build A Mountain” and “What Kind of Fool Am I?”
The show will run Monday, September 14, 2009 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. For tickets call the Alex Box Office at 818-243-ALEX.
It will also play the Jane and Ray Scherr Forum Theatre at the Thousand oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Sunday, September 20, 2009. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster at 805-583-8700.
