Following runs both Off-Broadway and in Los Angeles, the new musical Cagney, which chronicles the life of Oscar winner James Cagney, will begin performances of its new, expanded version September 20 at Pioneer Theatre Company in Salt Lake City, Utah. The production, featuring original star Robert Creighton, has its eyes on a subsequent Broadway transfer.
Joining Creighton are Darrin Baker, Matt Crowle, Kristen Smith Davis, Jeffry Denman, Robert Anthony Jones, Charis Leos, Daniel Plimpton, Melissa Schott, Edward Tolve, and Jessica Wockenfuss.
Cagney is directed by Bill Castellino and choreographed by Joshua Bergasse. It features a book by Peter Colley, a score by Creighton and Christopher McGovern, and additional materials by Chuck Tatham.
