CHEESEBURGER DELUXE to Make World Premiere at The 4th Street Theater
Cheeseburger Deluxe, a new musical play featuring book, music, and lyrics by J. William Bruce, will receive its world premiere production at The 4th Street Theater in New York City.
Cheeseburger Deluxe serves up the tale of Scott, an aspiring theater director, and a group of performers living on New York's Upper West Side. While striving to fill their plates, the friends discover that the secrets and vices that have haunted them begin to change their relationships, not only with each other, but within themselves. Cheeseburger Deluxe features an array of rock, country, gospel, and R & B tunes.
The cast of Cheeseburger Deluxe will feature Austin Archer (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Peter and the Starcatcher), Richard Binder (The People vs. Mona, 1776), Casey Keenan (Glass), Katie Mack (Azreal's Dissent), John Mervini (Illyria, Church), Samantha Schiffman (Seussical, Plath) and Morissa Trunzo (Spring Awakening).
Cheeseburger Deluxe will be directed by Stacy Lee Tilton, who has been developing the musical since 2013. She is an assistant director for Musicals Tonight and AMDA. As a performer, she has been seen on Broadway in Brigadoon. Zoe Briskey (Sleep No More) is the musical director. Tony Award winner Wilson Jermaine Heredia (RENT) is the creative consultant. Kimberly Nordstrom is the Artistic Director of Just Kidding Theatre Company.
