By: BWW News Desk Oct. 31, 2016
The world premiere of Jon Robin Baitz's "Vicuña," directed by Robert Egan, opened this Sunday, October 30, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. at Center Theatre Group's Kirk Douglas Theatre. Performances for "Vicuña" continue through November 20. The cast includes Linda Gehringer, Brian George, Harry Groener, Ramiz Monsef and Samantha Sloyan. BroadwayWorld has photos from the starry opening festivities below!
Influenced by the evolving political landscape, this brand new satire focuses on a brash presidential candidate on the rise - a blustering real estate tycoon and reality TV star -and the world-renowned tailor he coerces into serving him. "Vicuña" delves beneath the overstitching, through the weave and into the true power of the power suit. A suit may or may not make the man but it can definitely be revealing. A timely take on our rollicking political scene from Pulitzer finalist Baitz.
The scenic design for "Vicuña" is by Kevin Depinet, costume design is by Laura Bauer, lighting design is by Tom Ontiveros and original music and sound design is by Karl Fredrik Lundeberg. Casting is by Meg Fister and the production stage manager is Brooke Baldwin.
