Tracie Thoms, who plays Joanne in the forthcoming film of "Rent", has joined the cast of the new musical PARTY COME HERE, to be presented at the National Alliance for Musical Theatre's Festival of New Musicals later this weekend.  (She replaces Marcy Harriell, who was originally announced as taking part in the presentation, and who had a last-minute scheduling conflict out of town.)

Thoms, who was also a regular on the cult TV series "Wonderfalls", joins the previously asssembled cast of Fyvush Finkel, Hunter Foster, Megan Hilty, Kaitlin Hopkins, and Terrence Mann.

PARTY COME HERE is one of eight new musicals being presented in excerpted staged readings, and the 45-minute presentation will be performed on Monday Sept 26th at 11:15 AM and 2:30 PM at Dodger Stages Theater 2.

The primary audience for the festival is an invited list of NAMT members, however free general admission seating is available to the public on a first come, first served basis.

ABOUT PARTY COME HERE
A nervous groom, a statue of Christ, and a 500-year-old Jewish caveman converge to make miracles happen during a tropical storm on one magical night in Rio.  Part farce, part fable, Party Come Here tells the story of a collision of cultures as tantalizing as the sexiest city in the world. Mistaken identity, spirituality, hope, family, sex - all set to irresistible Latin rhythms.  From the author of Modern Orthodox and the composer of Summer of '42, this is an outrageous, original, outlandish, oddball, optimistic, ohmigod, one-of-a-kind show.
