News Broadway Actor Headlines Theatre Under the Stars' First Date Houston's Theatre Under the Stars Underground has announced casting for its final show of the season, the musical comedy First Date. Broadway actor A.J. Shively (La Cage aux Folles) will play the lead role of Aaron for the June 11-21 production.

The creative team includes director Marley Wisnoski, assistant director Nathan Wilson, choreographer Dana Lewis, musical director and conductor Jack Beetle, scenic designer Ryan McGettigan, sound designer Andrew Harper, lighting designer Christina R. Giannelli and costume designer Colleen Grady.
