Performances begin January 16 at Roundabout Theatre Company's Underground Theatre for the Off-Broadway premiere of Darling Grenadine. The new musical by Daniel Zaitchik is a bittersweet Manhattan story about charismatic songwriter Harry and clever chorus girl Louise, Harry's brother Paul, and his beloved dog.
Directed and choreographed by Michael Berresse, Darling Grenadine stars Adam Kantor (The Band's Visit) and Emily Walton (Come From Away) as Harry and Louise, respectively.
Rounding out the cast are Jay Armstrong Johnson as Paul, Matt Dallal as Man, Aury Krebs as Woman, and Mike Nappi as The Street Musician.
