The cast of the new off-Broadway musical Bingo will appear on the "WB-11 Morning News" on Friday, December 30, 2005 at 8:45 a.m. The troupe of the interactive, play-along musical comedy will perform two numbers – "Gentleman Caller," featuring Tony nominee Liz Larsen and Patrick Ryan Sullivan, and "Under My Wing," led by Liz McCartney.

 

The WB-11 Morning News airs throughout the NYC region on Time Warner and RCN Channel 11.


Currently enjoying an open-ended run at Off-Broadway's St. Luke's Theatre (308 West 46th Street), Bingo is directed by Thomas Caruso, with book by Michael Heitzman and Ilene Reid, and lyrics and music by Mr. Heitzman, Ms. Reid and David Holcenberg.

 

Bingo features a cast that also includes Klea Blackhurst as Bernice/Marilyn, Chevi Colton as Minnie, Janet Metz as Patsy and Beth Malone as Alison.

 

On Monday, January 2, 2006, Broadway's Jessica-Snow Wilson (Little Shop of Horrors, Good Vibrations) will assume the role of Alison, as Malone departs Bingo to begin rehearsals for Broadway's upcoming Ring of Fire.

 

In this interactive musical comedy, "the audience gets to join in the Bingo games at Hamerin County's St. Luke's Church basement, where they will meet – among others – Vern, Honey and Patsy, three pals that have driven through a terrible thunderstorm in the name of their weekly obsession. In between the number calling, strange rituals and fierce competitions, love blossoms and estranged friends reunite, sending everyone home a winner," according to press notes.

 

With choreography by Lisa Stevens, Bingo features scenic design by Eric Renschler, costume design by Carol Brys, lighting design by John Viesta and sound design by Lewis Mead. The show features musical supervision and orchestrations by Steven Bishop.

 
The regular playing schedule for Bingo is as follows:, Monday at 8 p.m., Tuesday at 8 p.m. (through 1/10/06), Tuesdays at 7 p.m. (beginning 1/17/06), Wednesday at 2 p.m., Wednesday at 8 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m.
