Musicals Tonight!’s 20th spring season opener, Rodgers and Hart’s The Boys From Syracuse, plays February 13–25 at the Lion Theatre on Theatre Row, 410 W. 42nd St.
Jonathan Cerullo, who directs and choreographs the farce about mistaken identity, has cast men in almost all of the female roles.
The cast includes Shavey Brown, Jody Cook, Matt Dengler, Ian Fairlee, Matthew Fairlee, Sam Given, Madeline Hamlet, Joseph Scott Holt, Jonathan Hoover, Jose Luaces, Elliott Mattox, Darrell Morris Jr., Adam Shapiro, and Josh Walden.
Based on William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, The Boys From Syracuse has music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, with a book by George Abbott.
The limited run has sets by Joshua Warner, lighting design by Ethan Steimel, and costume design by Hope Salvan. Evan Rees is the musical director, and Sue Delano is the assistant choreographer.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
