Meghann Dreyfuss (currently in MAMMA MIA! on Broadway); Kevin T. Collins (ANGELS - The Musical); and Maxx Mann (lead singer of the rock orchestra TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA) will lead the cast of the new musical BRUNCH - The Musical, being given its world-premiere production with previews starting Thursday, April 2 prior to the official press opening Thursday, April 9 Off-Broadway at the Chernuchin Theatre (314 W. 54 St.) in Manhattan. BRUNCH - The Musical has music & lyrics by Rick Kunzi, book by Mr. Kunzi & Adam Barnosky, and is directed by Rick Kunzi.

BRUNCH is a new rock musical about the New York City restaurant scene from the eyes of those who do the serving. It's about the daily grind, spec ials, romances, firings, tips and VIPs that inhabit every restaurant, bistro, café and diner in the city. BRUNCH follows a cast of characters -- waiters, bartenders and managers -- through the most hectic shift of the week, from the first cup of coffee to the last reservation at the tension-filled, comically riotous, patience-trying shift at the end of the restaurant week - Brunch!

Joining Ms. Dreyfuss, Mr. Collins & Mr. Mann in the cast of BRUNCH - The Musical are: Cara Babich, Nikki Curmaci, Tony Edgerton, Judah Frank, Collin Frazier, Martin Landry, Bryan Lesnick, Kenneth Linsley, Jo Beth Locklear, Dana Musgrove, Chris White, Dana Wilson, and Josh Woodie.

Design team for BRUNCH is Christian Deangelis (Lighting); Jason Murphree (Set); Emily Deangelis (Costume). Choreography is by Sabrina Jacob and musical direction is by Martin Landry.

BRUNCH - The Musical co-creators Rick Kunzi and Adam Barnosky are also the creators of the new musical WELCOME WEEK. BRUNCH opens Off-Broadway, having been developed previously in workshop productions in Detroit in 2007 and at The Wild Project in NYC last year.

Scheduled April 2 through April 25, performances of BRUNCH - The Musical run Thursdays -Sundays at 8:00pm at The American Theatre of Actors' Chernuchin Theatre (314 West 54th Street - btw. 8th & 9th Avenues).
