The New York Musical Theatre Festival and littleloco productions announce an added performance of the American Premiere of FINGERS AND TOES. Featuring book, music and lyrics by Logan Medland, this musical comedy has had a long and successful history in Canada where it ran in
over a dozen regional theatres to sold-out houses and critical acclaim. Performances run through October 17 at Urban Stages (where it opened Oct. 9); a performance has been added on Wednesday, October 13 at 4:30pm.

Tap virtuoso and chronic womanizer "Toes" Macgrath and relationship-tormented pianist "Fingers" St. Claire have less than two weeks to create a song and dance show about Love for a big audition
with a Broadway producer. But when triple-threat Molly Molloy joins them to play their ingénue, their plans spiral out of control as real romantic entanglements turn the creative process upside down. FINGERS AND TOES is a modern day Singin' in the Rain -- only with better weather!

Produced by Logan Medland and Derrick Chua, FINGERS AND TOES is directed by Matt Lenz (associate director of Broadway's Hairspray) and stars Leo Ash Evens (the Olivier-Award nominated West End production of West Side Story; Gypsy with Patti LuPone), Stephanie Gibson (Spamalot, Anyone Can Whistle at Encores) and Jonathan Monro (The Producers original Toronto cast). The production team includes Shea Sullivan (choreography), Jovon E. Shuck (stage manager), Alexander Woodward (scenic design), Ryan Park (costumes), Paul Miller (lighting), Rory Dale (sound) and Evan O'Brient (line producer & general manager).

Now in its seventh year, the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) is the largest annual musical theatre event in America and is widely regarded as the essential source for new material and talent discovery. NYMF provides a launching pad for the next generation of musicals and their creators to ensure the continued vitality of one of America's greatest art forms. Hailed as the "Sundance of Musical Theatre," NYMF discovers, nurtures, and promotes promising musical
theatre artists and producers at all stages of development, and inspires a diverse audience through vibrant, accessible, powerful new work.

FINGERS AND TOES runs Tues Oct 12 at 4:30 pm; Weds Oct 13 at 4:30 pm & 8 pm; Fri Oct 15 at 8 pm; Sat Oct 16 at 1 pm; and Sun Oct 17 at 4:30 pm. Urban Stages Theater is located at 259 West 30th Street, between 7th & 8th Ave. (accessible from the C, E trains at 34th Street).
Running time is two hours including an intermission. Tickets are $20,
