World Premiere Musical WANTING MISS JULIE Begins Previews Tonight, 3/19

Loft Ensemble is pleased to announce the world premiere musical, Wanting Miss Julie. This will be Loft's inaugural production of a musical. Loosely adapted from Strindberg's famous play, Wanting Miss Julie is a drama about isolation, temptation, and the consequences of giving into both. The show previews March 19 and March 20 with a special opening night on Monday, March 21 at 8PM. From there, the show will run on Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 7PM. Tickets are $25. (Please note - no performances on Saturday April 2 and Sunday April 3 due to a private event.)

Loosely adapted from Strindberg's classic play, Wanting Miss Julie is a world premiere musical set in the super-sophisticated, moneyed, political world of the Hamptons. Julie Stoddard is stunning, smart and dangerous. Isolated in her mansion with only imaginary friends as companions, she plays with sex and drugs to defy her father Stoddard, and to ensnare John, the rising MBA in his firm.

ADVISORY: Wanting Miss Julie contains some strong language and adult situations.
