The production will also feature original choreography by Jessica Bittner and musical direction by Kaitlin Carey. Production stage manager is Mickey Melillo.
Here's how LRT describes the show: "Winter in Westchester heats up with the mounting of the high-octaine musical, THE WILD PARTY! With book, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa (john and jen, Broadway's The Addams Family), The Wild Party features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written. This rowdy, decadent musical, based on the notorious 1920s poem, tells the story of Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville couple whose relationship is marked by vicious behavior and recklessness, mirroring the times in which they live. They decide to throw a party to end all parties, inviting an assortment of people living on The Edge for one wild evening in their Manhattan apartment. As the clock ticks on, relationships are forged and torn apart, and ultimately becomes the greatest night they'll ever regret."
