GREED Begins Previews Tonight at New World Stages

GREED: A Musical for Our Times will run off-Broadway at New World Stages, beginning previews tonight, March 19, 2014.

With book, music, and lyrics by Michael Roberts, GREED's exploits range from the outrageous Ponzi scheme of 1910 to the subtle sales pitches of retirement planners and mortgage bundlers. With songs like "A Little Juice," "Inside Information," and "The Ballad of Jamie Dimon," GREED takes aim at the obvious, and not so obvious, targets.

GREED: A Musical for Our Times will be directed by Christopher Scott, Music Director and Arrangements by Steven Gross.

The cast features Julia Burrows, Neal Mayer, James Donegan, and Stephanie D'Abruzzo. D'Abruzzo is best known for her Tony and Drama Desk nominated performances originating the roles of Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut both off and on Broadway in Avenue Q, for which she also received a Theatre World Award and a special ensemble award from the Outer Critics' Circle.

Performances will be Wednesday evenings at 7pm, Thursday and Saturday evenings at 8PM (Wednesday March 19th only at 8pm). Tickets may be purchased online at Telecharge.com, by phone at 212-239-6200, or in person at the NWS Box Office: 340 West 50th Street, Between 8th and 9th Avenues, New York, NY 10019.
