Cast Set for GOTHAM ROGUES: THE UNAUTHORIZED BATMAN PARODY MUSICAL at Joe's Pub

The full cast has been revealed for Paul Iacono and Marc Kudisch’s Gotham Rogues: The Unauthorized Batman Parody Musical for its one-night-only world premiere at Joe’s Pub on Monday, October 27 at 9:30 PM. Gotham Rogues is directed by Rachel Klein (High Priest, The Gospel According to Heather, West End: Bettie Page: Queen of Pinups The Musical), and has a book by Paul Iacono and Marc Kudisch, and lyrics by Paul Iacono, with additional material by Barrett Leddy. Music Direction and arrangements are by Peter Saxe. With music by Shirley Walker, Danny Elfman, Lolita Ritmanis, Harvey R. Cohen, and Michael McCuistion, the show is loosely inspired by the “Batman: The Animated Series” episodes “The Trial” and “Almost Got ‘Im,” written by Paul Dini.

Broadway’s Leenya Rideout (Company, Cabaret, War Horse) will join the cast as Poison Ivy, alongside the preiously announced Marc Kudisch (The Joker), Terence Archie (Two-Face), Paul Iacono (The Riddler), Lauren Molina (Harley Quinn), Brenda Braxton (Catwoman), Barrett Leddy (The Mad Hatter), Eddie Korbich (Mr. Freeze), Burke Moses (Batman), Clyde Voce (Nightwing), and Loren Lester, the voice of Robin/Nightwing on “Batman: The Animated Series” (Penguin).

Gotham Rogues is a darkly hilarious comic book–opera that plunges into the twisted minds — and musical numbers — of Gotham’s most notorious villains. When Batman is captured and put on trial inside Arkham Asylum, the rogues seize their moment to settle scores, spill their trauma, and steal the spotlight. This bold, cabaret-noir spectacle dares to ask: in a city of masks, who are the rogues… and who are the heroes?
