'Adding Machine' CD Signing At Barnes & Noble 7/17

On Thursday, July 17th, at 5:30 PM, the full cast and band from ADDING MACHINE: A MUSICAL will perform 30 minutes from the show at the same Barnes & Noble, followed by a CD signing, in a special program hosted by Austin Pendleton. As Mrs. Zero would say, "Don't miss it!"

Adding Machine features a score by Joshua Schmidt and a libretto by Jason Loewith and Mr. Schmidt.  David Cromer directs a cast starring Cyrilla Baer as 'Mrs. Zero,' Joel Hatch as 'Mr. Zero' and Amy Warren as 'Daisy.'  The featured cast includes Joe Farrell as 'Shrdlu,' Nick Offerman as the 'Boss,' Adinah Alexander as 'Mrs. Two,' Niffer Clarke as 'Mrs. One,' Roger E. DeWitt as 'Mr. Two' and Daniel Marcus as 'Mr. One.'

Darkly comic and heartbreakingly beautiful, Adding Machine, a musical adaptation of Elmer Rice's incendiary 1923 play, tells the story of Mr. Zero, who after 25 years of service to his company is replaced by a mechanical adding machine.  In a vengeful rage, he murders his boss.   An eclectic score gives passionate and memorable voice to this stylish and stylized production, which follows Zero's journey to the afterlife in the Elysian Fields where he is met with one last chance for romance and redemption.
