Limited Seating Available for White Noise Reading, 5/25

The provocative upcoming musical White Noise will receive its first public viewing in an Equity Reading, produced by Nasser Productions, on Thursday, May 25 at the Kirk Theater (located at Theater Row, 410 W. 42nd Street). Performances will be at 5 and 8 p.m. that evening; limited public seating is available.

The reading will feature Kacie Sheik (Las Vegas' We Will Rock You), Whitney Bashor, Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Ragtime, Seussical), Dave Hull, and Kevin Pariseau (Slut, I Love You, You're Perfect…). Nina Shreiber will co-produce the evening, which will feature a 4-piece band helmed by musical director Sonny Paladino, as well as choreographic consulting by Todd L. Underwood and musical and vocal arrangements by Ben Cohen. Ryan J. Davis directs.

White Noise was conceived by Davis and features book, music and lyrics by Joe Drymala, with additional songs by Rick Crom (Newsical), Glen Kelly (dance arranger, The Producers, Spamalot, The Drowsy Chaperone), Laurence O'Keefe (Bat Boy, Sarah, Plain and Tall, Legally Blonde) Stephen Sislen (Slut) and Eric Svejcar (Caligula). White Noise is billed as "A Cautionary Musical."

"Confirming the old adage that it's better to be a star than wear one, an adorable pair of sisters, Blanche and Eva, lead the teen band White Noise, mixing irresistible harmonies with white power rhetoric and taking the nation by storm. Their message of racial purity resonates with young people across America and the rise of White Noise coincides with a rise in the white supremacist movement which threatens to engulf the country, as Blanche and Eva prove themselves to be masters of the most terrifying and unstoppable form of Fascism in today's culture: Top Forty pop," state press notes.

Several songs from White Noise recently debuted at the sold-out benefit concert, "Stuck In The Zipper: The Songs of Joe Drymala & Eric Svejcar." They were performed by Kacie Sheik, Whitney Bashor and Andrew Keenan-Bolger.
