The Rivals

Posted on November 1, 2010 by admin

Book and lyrics by Greg Edwards
Music by Jonathan Breit

Staged reading of Act One presented Nov 20th and 21st
Shetler Studios, 244 W 54th St

The first stage in the development of this new, full-length musical adaptation of the 1775 play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The Rivals is a romantic comedy set in that faraway time when everyone wore wigs, spoke in repartee, and hid behind curtains and chairs at the slightest provocation. Miss Lydia Languish wants to throw away her money and live on nothing but love, so Jack Absolute decides to woo her disguised as a penniless poet. An overbearing father, a pompous aunt, and a host of rivals threaten to get in the way, but in the end disguises are doffed, obstacles are removed, and true love wins the day.

Directed by: David Hilder

Music Direction by: Jason Wirth

Cast: Andrew Ash*, Tommy Crawford, Allison Goldberg,* Eric Johnson, Ian Lowe*, Sue Mathys, Michael Padgett*, Felicia Ricci*, Megan Stern, Paul Louis Lessard*

2008 New York International Fringe Festival Winner for Outstanding Ensemble!

NYC GOSSIP COLUMNIST CAUGHT IN SEX SCANDAL! By age 29, Claire Cunningham wields one of New York City’s most poisonous pens. She has a devilishly handsome boyfriend, a permanent invite to the hottest parties, and the best of Hollywood sources — her brother Austin, a high-grossing action film star. Then a nasty bit of news changes everything. And when Claire’s reunion with her ex-assistant, Tammy, turns out to be less than nostalgic, Claire and Austin become gossip targets. Will Claire’s steamy sex life hit the front page? Will Austin’s career hit the skids? Cue the entrance of a mysterious stranger, Isabel, who knows just a little bit too much about everyone, and this summer the heat will be in the headlines.

Directed by
Gaye Taylor Upchurch
