Casting Announced For RAPUNZEL at Downtown Cabaret Theatre

The Downtown Cabaret Theatre has announced that their Theatre For Young Audiences season will continue with a new musical version of Rapunzel this winter.

Rapunzel puts a new "twist" on the classic tale about the girl with the long golden hair. When young Rapunzel has been locked in a tower by a wicked enchantress, it takes a handsome young hero to help her escape, and that's just the beginning of the story!

The production is directed by DCT veteran Ashely Depascale, choreographed by Carly Jurman, and musically directed by Aron Smith, with costume design by Lesley Neilson-Bowman (dressers: Krista Rocco and Thomas Gordon), sound design by Matt Feeney, and stage management by Sarah Hooper. Hugh Hallinan serves as Executive Director/ Producer alongside Artistic Director Phill Hill.

The cast features the talents of beloved DCT company members: Cassie Carroll, Corinne Marshall, Robert Peterpaul, Andrea Pane, Karen Hanley, Carolyn Savoia, Jason Parry and Ashley DePascale.

The Downtown Cabaret Theatre has been a staple in the New England theatre scene for over 40 years. Patrons love their unique "Bring Your Own Picnic" atmosphere and the unmatched talent that comes through. Its history includes productions of popular Broadway musicals as well as the American premiere of Blood Brothers in 1988, Kelli O'Hara receiving her Equity card in a production of Phantom, and a premiere production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 1979 - before it appeared on Broadway.

The Downtown Cabaret Theatre currently offers a fully stocked season of Main Stage Concert and TYA shows, as well as a concert series and special events.
