Casting has been revealed for the upcoming New York premiere run of A Sign of the Times, a new '60s-themed jukebox musical set to begin performances Off-Broadway at New World Stages February 7, 2024 ahead of a February 22 opening night.

Chilina Kennedy (Beautiful, Paradise Square) will star as Cindy, with Ryan Silverman (The Phantom of the Opera) as Brian, Justin Matthew Sargeant (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) as Matt, and Crystal Lucas-Perry (Ain't No Mo', 1776) as Tanya.

The cast will also include Cassie Austin, Erica Simone Barnett, Shawn Bowers, Alyssa Carol, Jeremiah Ginn, Kuppi Alec Jessop, Lena Matthews, Maggie McDowell, J Savage, Michael Starr, and Edward Staudenmayer. Further casting, by JAZ Casting, is to be announced.

The show features a book by Lindsey Hope Pearlman and contains the songs of Petula Clark, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, and other 1960s artists. The work is based on an original story by Richard J. Robin, following one young woman in the center of the pivotal decade of the 1960s, as the Vietnam War raged on, women fought for equal rights, and culture shifted rapidly. Gabriel Barre is directing the York Theatre Company production.

The musical had its world premiere in at Goodspeed Musicals’ Norma Terris Theatre before heading to the Delaware Theatre Company in 2018, where it had a sold-out run. An industry reading was held in NYC last month with Kennedy, Silverman, Sargeant, Lucas-Perry, McDowell, and Staudenmayer in the cast.

The upcoming staging will feature choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, music direction and orchestrations by Joseph Church, set design by Evan Adamson, costume design by Johanna Pan, lighting design by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, sound design by Shannon Slaton, projection design by Brad Peterson, and hair, wig, and makeup design by J. Jared Janas. Britt Bonney is music directing.
