Kenyon Phillips has announced that casting for the return engagement of The Life + Death of Kenyon Phillips has been completed.

The final cast will include the previously announced Michael Musto, Rachel Ticotin (Man On Fire, Total Recall, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) and Brad Calcaterra ("Gotham"), as well as Jacob A. Ware ("Boardwalk Empire"), Aurora Black, Peter Hart, Kelsey Strauch, Robert W. Smith, Justin Sams, Nancy Cantine, Roxie Valdez, Lola Carter, Carolyn Chiu, Chris Comfort, Eric Miranda, and Vanessa Walters (Fischerspooner). Ms. Walters will also serve as the choreographer for the new incarnation of Mr. Phillips's 75-minute autobiographical rock opera, which will also include circus and sideshow elements like acrobatics, burlesque, magic, and contortionism. Author, playwright and actress Najla Said will direct.

The Life + Death of Kenyon Phillips will be performed at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10003) on Friday, October 24th, 2014, at 7:00PM. A special video teaser of the show can be viewed HERE.

Tickets are $22 each and available online HERE, by visiting the Joe's Pub box office, or by calling (212) 967-7555.

The Life + Death of Kenyon Phillips uses an interactive rock-cabaret-variety show format - with several circus acts thrown in for good measure - to explore the past, present and future of downtown performance artist Kenyon Phillips. Kenyon says his inspiration for the project came from a desire "to take the traditional one-man show idea of 'here's my life story,' and throw a grenade in it."
