Alan Cumming Featured On Original Cast Recording Of STRUCK, Out Next Month

Flowers is a faded, beat up haggard rock star. Years after his last hit record and massive world tours (with his now broken up band Ultra Violence), Struck is the story of this weathered man's journey to reclaim the stardom, and success he once had. While mindlessly scrolling for satisfaction, Flowers stumbled upon an article about a postal worker who was struck by lightning. The lightning strike turned this once non-musical postman into a brilliant classical pianist. Voila! Flowers has found his path to reignite his career. Helping Flowers on his journey are his loyal assistant Chico (who builds him fantastical machines to help him get close to the lighting), Breezy his effervescent much younger girlfriend, and a cast of characters including Chico's mother Elena, Flowers' old bandmates and Sister Midnight, a queer dive bar performer who's seen it all and knows the power of unity. Flowers follows many paths in an attempt to get back to where he had once been and learns from each of the characters he is lucky enough to have guiding him.

The cast of Struck is led by Alan Cumming as Flowers, Jesse Clasen as Chico, Betsy Wright as Breezy, Martina Topley-Bird as Elena, and Jason Barnes as Sister Midnight.

Rich Morel (Music and Lyrics) has had multiple hits on the Billboard Club charts and released three critically-acclaimed studio albums; Queen Of The Highway (2002), Lucky Strike (2004) and The Death Of The Paperboy (2009). Morel has produced records and collaborated with artists including Cyndi Lauper, Yoko Ono, New Order, Depeche Mode,The Killers, Pet Shop Boys, and, most recently, U.S. Girls. Morel formed Deathfix, a post-punk group (with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty), whose self-titled 2013 debut was released on the influential indie imprint Dischord Records earning them a coveted slot at the Coachella music festival.
