Full Cast Set for COPPERFIELD THE NEW MUSICAL Off-Broadway
Joining the previously announced Bobby Conte as David Copperfield, the cast includes Amelia Cormack, Jed Feder, Calvin Knegten, and more.
Charles Dickens’ COPPERFIELD!, The New Musical, with book, music, and lyrics by Jeffrey Scharf, has revealed its full cast and creative team. Directed and choreographed by Gabriel Barre the off-Broadway production plays a limited engagement, September 29 - December 6, at The Duke on 42nd Street at New 42 Studios.
In a stirring new musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ favorite and most autobiographical novel, brought to life by a spirited company of actor-musicians, COPPERFIELD! follows its resilient protagonist David from a difficult childhood through to adulthood. As a child, David endures the sadism of his stepfather Murdstone, the depredations of the villainous schoolmaster Creakle, and the mind-numbing routine of a London sweatshop. As an adult, he is visited by happiness and success as well as tragedy and loss.
Along the way, he meets some of Dickens’ most memorable characters: including his formidable Aunt Betsey Trotwood, the loyal Peggotty family, the eccentric Mr. Micawber, the gentle Agnes Wickfield, the charming but reckless Steerforth, the naïve Dora Spenlow, and the deceitful Uriah Heep.
Through friendship, hardship, love, betrayal, and personal triumph, David discovers his identity and purpose in a story that celebrates resilience, compassion, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Joining the previously announced Bobby Conte as David Copperfield, the cast of COPPERFIELD! Includes Amelia Cormack, Jed Feder, Calvin Knegten, Kent M. Lewis, Kara Mikula, Miyuki Miyagi, Nancy O'Connor, Dan Piering, Aaron Michael Ray, Will Reynolds, Owen Squire Smith, Alexander Sovronsky, Erica Spyres, Andy Taylor, Cathryn Wake, Tatiana Wechsler, and Henry Witcher.
