Photo Flash: Meet the Cast - GREASE Helmer Barry Pearl Directs POP! THE MUSICAL at Hollywood Fringe
The Hollywood Fringe Festival's 2015 season includes the world premiere of POP! THE MUSICAL, an '80s themed musical with an exciting original score from the Los Angeles based writing duo of twin brothers Geoffrey and Sam Rose (aka Roze Broze) and directed by award winning director Barry Pearl, most familiar to worldwide audiences for portraying "Doody" in Paramount's now cult classic film "Grease." Scroll down for a sneak peek at the cast!
The talented ensemble cast includes: Joshua M. Bott ("Forever Plaid," "Two Broke Girls"), Jenna Coker Jones (Broadway's "Fame," "The Evil Dead"), Douglas Ladnier (Broadway's "Jekyll & Hyde," "Sweeney Todd"), Matt Steele ("The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "Duck for President"); Ben D. Goldberg ("Castle," the "For The Record Series"), Haviland Stillwell ("Magic Mike XXL," Broadway's "Les Miserables"), Laura L. Thomas ("Hairspray," "Legally Blonde").
The show is choreographed by James Tabeek, whose Broadway credits include "Mary Poppins," "Beauty & The Beast," "Wicked" and "Taboo."
Like "Grease," "POP!" is a comedic period piece that celebrates an extraordinary decade in the history of pop music. "POP!" tells the story of two struggling musicians who, through a twist of fate, suddenly have a chance of getting a song to Madonna at the height of her fame. Brimming with nostalgia and packed with original 80s style pop music, the score, book and lyrics are a love letter to one of music's most remarkable decades. Learn More at pop-themusical.com
