42nd Street Moon Presents BABES IN ARMS 12/1-19

42nd Street Moon, the company that presents intimate productions of uncommon musicals, presents BABES IN ARMS by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart from Dec. 1 - 19. The show features the memorable popular classics "My Funny Valentine," "The Lady is a Tramp," "Johnny One-Note," "Where or When?" "I Wish I Were in Love Again," and "All at Once." Low-priced previews will be presented at the Eureka Theatre on December 1, 2 and 3, with the Opening on Saturday, December 4 at 6 pm.

Dyan McBride heads the creative team as director. She has worked with 42nd Street Moon as a performer and director since 1995, and also serves as Education Director for the newly created MoonSchool. Her directorial credits with the company include Do Re Mi, Mack & Mabel, and Call Me Madam. "I love Babes in Arms because it is hopeful and full of spirit," McBride said. "It's clever, inventive, fun, zany and charged with the excitement of youth." Dave Dobrusky will once again serve as musical director, and Zack Thomas Wilde will provide the choreography.

Heading the cast as "funny valentine" Val LaMar is Michael Scott Wells, in his debut role with the company. He plays opposite Moon favorite, Alexandra Kaprielian, starring as the resourceful heroine Billie Smith. Joshua James appears as Val's best friend, Marshall Blackstone, while former Hollywood child star, Baby Rose, is portrayed by Sophia Rose Morris. The sheriff's daughter Dolores is played by Tyner Rushing with Caleb Haven Draper as her friend Gus. Peter, the budding communist, is portrayed by Jonathan Shue. Others in the cast are Isaiah Boyd, Zak Franczak, Ben Euphrat, Gabriel Stephens, Annie Donahey and Dirk Leatherman.
