Lenny Banovez to Direct Secret Theatre's OLIVER!; Full Creative Team & Cast Announced
The creative team and cast has been announced for "Oliver!", which begins its limited holiday run December 6th at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City, NY. Performances run through December 22, 2013.
Led by acclaimed director Lenny Banovez (TITAN Theatre Company) this exclusive engagement of "Oliver!" has a unique Steampunk influence with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart and based on the Charles Dickens classic, Oliver Twist.
Artistic Director of the Secret Theatre, Richard Mazda is set to play the infamous role of Fagin--a fitting full circle to his previous role in the same musical as the boy Oliver himself. Mazda was one of the co-founders of Poole punk/mod band Tours as well as a powerful force in the music industry through the 80s and 90s. In 2005, he scored an Off Broadway role as 'English' in Scott Brooks' "Bag Fulla Money" which played at 42nd St's Clurman Theatre. Additionally, Mazda has appeared in numerous Hollywood films including Saving Private Ryan, Batman Begins, Love Actually and Quills.
The cast also features Gregory Isaac (Chicago Shakespeare) as Bill Sykes, Bailey Seeker (NYU-CAP21) as Nancy, and introducing Amanda Dupuy as Oliver, and John Alden Hooper as the Artful Dodger. Rounding out the cast is a large and talented Ensemble of children and adults.
Costume Designer Becky Willett brings her experience in the Steampunk community and her work on Broadway (Lucky Guy) and Off-Broadway (Somewhere Fun and The Rain Maker) to center stage in this unique holiday production of the beloved musical.
Rounding out the creative team are Musical Director Dror Baitel, Choreographer Nicholas Sotack, Lighting Designer Dan Jobbins, Prop Designer Anna Grace Carter, and Set Design by Richard Mazda, Alexis Achilles and Jasmine Roberts.
Tickets for "Oliver!" are $25 and are available at www.secrettheatre.com, the ST box office located at 44-02 23rd St, LIC, NY, or by calling (718) 392-0722. Family discounts and specials are also available.
