Announced Richmond Theatre season 2019-2020

On Monday night, the Emerson Colonial Theatre presented THE SETH RUDESTSKY SERIES STARRING JESSIE MUELLER, the first of three concerts with Cheyenne Jackson (October 4) and Kelli O'Hara (January 9) to follow. The host of Sirius SM's On Broadway channel, Rudetsky is a pianist, a music director, and possesses a vast knowledge of musical theater. In this series, a combination of conversation and musical performances, Rudetsky moves seamlessly between his dual roles as onstage accompanist and interviewer, starting out on the piano bench and ambling over to a quasi-living room ('we have a carpet') with a pair of comfy armchairs. Singing a broad range of selections, both Broadway and pop, Mueller proves herself to be a vocal chameleon, and presents as warm, genuine, and occasionally self-deprecating during the interview portions of the show.

New Line Theatre, "the bad boy of musical theatre," has announced casting for its 29th season of adult, alternative musical theatre, which opens with the return of the wild, comic rock musical CRY-BABY,  based on the iconic John Waters film, a show which New Line first produced in 2012 in its American regional premiere, running Sept. 26-Oct. 19, 2019. The season continues with the electrifying new rock musical fresh from Broadway, in its regional premiere, HEAD OVER HEELS, a high-energy, adult romp about gender and sexuality, based on a 16th-century novel and using the songs of the 80s rock band The Go-Go's, running March 5-28, 2020. And the season closes with the return of one of New Line's biggest hits, which the New Liners first presented in 2007, the pitch dark satire URINETOWN, the hilarious, outrageous fable of greed, corruption, love, revolution, and urination, running June 4-27, 2020.

HEAD OVER HEELS is playing at the Exit 82 Studio Theater starting on July 12th through August 4th. This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980's all-female rock band The Go-Go's and features a book by Jeff Whitty and adaptation by James Magruder.

There's something about TRACE that makes you want to stop and listen, and it's just that allure that landed her Refinery29's list of artists to watch this year. Today she releases her new single 'Make Me Laugh' via Ultra Music across all streaming services. Under The Radar premiered the track yesterday, admiring TRACE's diverse array of influences, '...steady boom-bap beat with skittering electronics filling the backdrop. Equal parts PBR&B and vintage singersongwriter, the track deftly mixes the elements of electronica and soul.'
