Amas Musical Theatre will present a benefit concert of Charlotte Sweet—The Madcap Musical November 17 at 7 PM at A.R.T./New York Theatres–Mezzanine Theatre.

Directed by Jeff Calhoun (Newsies, Bonnie & Clyde) with musical direction by Michael Lavine, the concert will feature the talents of Darius de Haas (Carousel), Ann Harada (Avenue Q), Nicolas King (Beauty and the Beast), Michael McCoy (Einstein’s Dreams), Mamie Parris (Cats), Stephanie Pope (Pippin), and Megan Styrna as Charlotte. 

Casting is by Stephen DeAngelis with additional casting to be announced.

Charlotte Sweet, which has a libretto by Michael Colby (Tales of Tinseltown, Ludlow Ladd) and music by Gerald Jay Markoe (Ludlow Ladd, Happy Haunting), spotlights the stratospherically high soprano of British Music Hall, along with the freaky Circus of Voices. 

"The Second Chance Musical—it's happening a lot lately,” says Colby in a statement. “Merrily We Roll Along, Parade, Heathers. Shows that didn't really get their due the first time, but which have triumphantly returned. Then, there are the classics that were overshadowed. West Side Story by The Music Man. Chicago by A Chorus Line. She Loves Me opening the same Tony Award season as Hello, Dolly! and Funny Girl." Charlotte Sweet opened back to back with Little Shop of Horrors (and Cats). 

“We are so delighted to bring this storied and highly original musical to the stage,” adds Artistic Producer Donna Trinkoff. “Michael has been a treasured member of the Amas family of artistis for many years. We are fortunate to be able to bring Charlotte Sweet, a fully sung musical, back to life.”
