Performances begin March 22 at Theatre Row for A Musical About Star Wars – or Why Star Wars is the Greatest Thing in the Galaxy, Much Much Better than Star Trek. The new musical comedy is produced and directed by Tom and Michael D'Angora, the team behind Off-Broadway's The Marvelous Wonderettes and NEWSical The Musical.
A Musical About Star Wars is written by Tom D'Angora, Taylor Crousore, and Scott Foster and features an original score by Billy Recce. Musical direction is by Ed Goldschneider and choreography is by Alex Ringler.
In the show, Taylor and Scott find themselves bonding in a Staten Island Blockbuster Video over their love of the Star Wars films. Together, the self-proclaimed “Millennial Falcon” and “Gen-X Winger” create a musical that celebrates the magic, the fandom, and the legacy of all things Star Wars.
The production stars Taylor Crousore, Scott Richard Foster, and Emily McNamara, as Taylor, Scott, and Emily, respectively.
Costumes are by Brendan McCann and William Louis Bailey, props are by Brendan McCann, and lighting design is by Lindsay Green. A Musical About Star Wars is produced in association with Cornice Productions, Tedi Marsh, George Silva, Daniel Lopez, and Evan Schultz.
