DORIAN'S CLOSET at Rep Stage - World Premiere Musical is Stunning!
by Charles Shubow
- May 10, 2017
Directed by Co-Artistic Director Joseph Ritsch, with book and lyrics by Richard Mailman and music by Ryan Haase, DORIAN'S CLOSET is a fictionalized account of Buffalo native Dorian Corey who headed to New York City for a life as a 'female impersonator' and 'performer' and became a huge hit. One may think of such Broadway hits like LA CAGE AUX FOLLES or KINKY BOOTS which both deal with the life of male performers dressing as females. And as in those two monster hits, a musical to succeed needs one heck of a star and Director Ritsch has found such an individual in Stephen Scott Wormley who is absolutely astonishing in his role as 'Dorian' . I recall seeing his former performances in ONCE ON THIS ISLAND (Olney Theatre Center), HAIRSPRAY at Signature Theatre, and in the HAIRSPRAY concert version with the Baltimore Symphony where he excelled as 'Seaweed'.

No one could sing harmonies like The Everly Brothers. With hits "Bye, Bye, Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," and "When Will I Be Loved" among others, The Everly Brothers' music influenced everyone from The Beatles to Simon & Garfunkel to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Now, the singing duo of Dylan and Zachary Zmed (sons of Grease 2 and T.J. Hooker star Adrian Zmed ) are paying tribute to Phil and Don Everly along with their band The Bird Dogs.
