This article is from Playbill.com from Tuesday. I looked and couldn't find a thread already made for this topic.

-----

A reading of Twilight: The Musical, which parodies the "Twilight" books and films, will be presented Jan. 16 at 8 PM at New World Stages.

The cast will feature Meghann Fahy (Next to Normal) as Bella Swan, Jenna Leigh Green (Wicked) as Rosalie, Hermione (et al.), Lauren Lopez (A Very Potter Musical) as Alice (et al.), Jason Michael Snow (The Book of Mormon) as Harry Potter (et al.), Olli Haaskivi (Jurassic Parq: The Musical) as Jasper (et al.), Eddie Gutierrez (Miss Abigail’s Guide…), Lindsay Dunn (West Side Story), Michael McArthur (Newsies), Kaitlin Mesh (West Side Story) and Clifton Samuels (Follies).

Created by Ashley Griffin, Twilight: The Musical features music and lyrics by Jeremy Ezell, Griffin, Sean Mahoney, David Mallamud and Michael Sutherland.

The musical, according to press notes, "examines our culture of obsession through the story of teenage outsider Bella Swan who risks everything when she embarks on a star-crossed romance with Vampire Edward Cullen."

Presented by Ulmer Theatricals, Moxyrah Productions and Dreamcatcher Entertainment, the upcoming evening will feature direction by Gabriel Barre and choreography by Matthew Neff.
Proceeds will benefit Blessings in a Backpack, a program designed to feed elementary school children whose families qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Price Meal program, but have little to no food on the weekends.

New World Stages is located at 340 West 50th Street. Tickets are available via telecharge.com or at the New World Stages box office. For more information visit www.thetwilightmusical.com.

I really want to see Jason Michael Snow... so I'll probably end up going, though I've been blissfully unfamiliar with Twilight until now.

As an avid anti-Twilighter and a big fan of Meghann Fahy, Lauren Lopez (hooray for her getting out there beyond Starkid more and more!) and Jenna Leigh Green, I'm so bummed I went to NYC last weekend instead of arranging to go at a time I could catch this. Bummer.

As long as this is an off Broadway parody, I am all for it... The only problem I with this is that the material is already a parody in and of itself in how incredibly terrible it is. It makes fun of itself just fine...

I've read quite a few articles about this show, and most talk about Lauren Lopez and no other cast members. I'm sad that Meghann and Jenna aren't getting as much credit. And Meghann is Bella!!
