By: Craig Brockman Sep. 11, 2005
On Sunday, September 11, Anthony Rapp and Amy Spanger led the cast in two numbers from the sold-out NYMF Show, "Feeling Electric" down at the Union Square Virgin Megastore. With music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey (The Wedding Banquet), FEELING ELECTRIC stars Annaleigh Ashford, Joe Cassidy (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Anthony Rapp (Rent), Benjamin Schrader (Big River, National tour) and Amy Spanger (Kiss Me, Kate; Chicago).Darkly funny and brutally honest, this powerful new musical chronicles one family's personal battle to cure a mother (Spanger) of her long-term depression, with the controversial help of one hotshot young doctor (Rapp) who prescribes electric shock therapy as her last resort treatment.Directed by Peter Askin (The Good Body, Trumbo), performances of FEELING ELECTRIC begin on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 at Off-Broadway's Barrow Group Theatre (312 West 36th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues).
