The York Theatre will stage an invitation-only industry reading of Trick! The Musical March 12 and 13 at Pearl Studios. Jeff Calhoun will direct Jason Schafer and Arthur Lafrentz Bacon’s new musical based on the beloved queer rom-com of the same title.

The story follows two young men trying to hook up over one unforgettable night in New York City, as a hopelessly romantic aspiring Broadway songwriter picks up a hunky go-go boy at a gay bar and they return to the songwriter’s one-room apartment only to find his robustly hetero roommate has dibs on their place. As the newly acquainted pair searches for somewhere to get together, they endure a series of misadventures.

The production will star Klea Blackhurst as Terri, Tony winner J. Harrison Ghee as Drag Superstar, Aline Mayagoitia as Kathryn, Mason Reeves as Mark, Ethan Roger as Rich, J Savage as Ben the ASM, Emmet Smith as Gabriel, and Hailey Thomas as Judy.

Bernita Robinson is the stage manager.
