Kate sings all the songs and there is one at the end that is a reprise of an earlier song that actor Taylor Crousore sings, too, but since he is most known as a comedian, there are no online videos of him singing, so you'll be surprised at the end because you'll forget I wrote this. Ha!
And here it is in Playbill (in case you think I made this up)! https://playbill.com/article/kate-rockwell-and-taylor-crousore-to-star-in-inundated-off-broadway
It's 90 minutes long, presented by The York Theatre in the 200 seat St. Jeans Theater on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It's the closing play-with-music, part of the "New to New York" series that has three days of rehearsal, then 3 previews, then 8 performances where the actors hold the scripts and refer to them for anything they weren't able to memorize within three days.
Can you imagine? My songs memorized in three days? Even I couldn't do it and I wrote them -- and you know them. But you've never heard them sung like this.
We had two readings back in February that went very well (with Sierra Boggess and Josh Grisetti). Sierra is currently in "Midnight In The Garden Of Good & Evil" in Chicago and Josh runs a theater program at a Los Angeles area college, so they were unavailable for this next step in the development of this show, but they are still both "attached" to the show (I think that means they get right of first refusal). But what do I know? This is all new to me.
Alice Scovell wrote the book, chose the songs, and wonderful comedienne/Broadway veteran Christine Pedi is directing. I will be at each performance, sitting in one of the last rows, making notes. Please look for me there and say hello. And please send me any notes that might be helpful in this process.
And if you can't make it to NYC in October, please wish me to "break a leg" -- and don't whistle backstage!*
