CAGNEY Concludes Run at York Theatre Company Today

The York Theatre Company's 45th Anniversary Season comes to a close today, June 21, 2015 with the new musical, Cagney, with book by Peter Colley and music & lyrics by Robert Creighton and Christopher McGovern.

Performances began May 19, 2015 at The York Theatre Company at Saint Peter's (entrance on East 54th Street, just east of Lexington Avenue).

Directed by Bill Castellino, with choreography by Joshua Bergasse and music direction by Matt Perri, this exciting new musical stars Broadway's Robert Creighton as the legendary James Cagney with Jeremy Benton, Danette Holden, Bruce Sabath, Josh Walden, and Ellen Zolezzi.

The York Theatre Company, in association with Riki Kane Larimer, presents the New York premiere of the awarding-winning Cagney, a high-stepping, explosive new musical about legendary star and the screen's greatest tough-guy, James Cagney. Cagney follows the actor from his humble beginnings in New York City's Lower East Side through his rise as a vaudeville song-and-dance man to his superstardom in Hollywood. In this insightful and surprising musical journey, a brand new original score filled with show- stopping song and dance numbers is augmented by George M. Cohan songs. Cagney was the consummate performer who could do it all - sing, dance, play the bad guy, the good guy, the patriot, the gangster; Broadway's Robert Creighton leads a cast of six in this exciting new musical. Cagney will have audiences cheering.

The creative team includes James Morgan (sets), Amy Clark (costumes), Brian Nason (lighting), Janie Bullard (sound), Mark Pirolo (projections), and Carol Hanzel (casting). The Production Stage Manager is Larry Smiglewski with Assistant Stage Manager Arthur Atkinson.

Cagney plays the following performance schedule: Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday-Friday at 8:00 p.m., Saturday at 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. PLEASE NOTE: There is a special added performance on Sunday evening, June 14, 2015 at 7:30 p.m.
