Photo Flash: First Look at AYN RAND IN LOVE at MCL Chicago
MCL Chicago Artistic Director Alex Garday presents the world premiere comedic musical Ayn Rand IN LOVE as part of the summer series. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Ayn Rand IN LOVE tells the story of a young Ayn Rand falling in what one would call love (she would not) with the charismatic Frank O'Connor. Taking some truth from her early days working with MGM Studios, the musical has all the glitz and glamour of an MGM classic of the late 1920s. When Ayn Rand sees something of value to her, she knows how to get it - and a job at MGM, Frank O'Connor, and another lover are no exception.
The complete cast and production team for Ayn Rand IN LOVE include:
Cast: Erika Hakmiller (Ayn Rand), Chris Causer (Frank O'Connor), Jessica Lauren Scott (Dorothy), Mitch Conti (Baker), Mo Phillips-Spotts (Pearl), Jack Daniel Wright (Cecil B. DeMille), Kira Christoforidis (Ensemble), Cody Dericks (Ensemble), Liz Falstreau (Ensemble), Maiko Terazawa (Ensemble), and Nick Watts (Ensemble).
Production Team: Gregory Dodds (Playwright and Lyricist), Amanda Murphy (Co-Lyricist), Danielle DeMatteo (Composer), Shanna Brown (Director), Stephanie McCullough (Show Accompanist), Sheena Laird (Choreographer), and Carrie Campana (Costume Designer).
AAfter a successful showing at the 2016 Premier Premiers! A Weekend of New Musical Comedies Festival, the cast and crew return for a limited six performance run on Saturdays at 7:30 p.m, Aug. 6 - Sept. 10, 2016 at MCL Chicago Comedy Theater (3110 N.Sheffield Ave.).
