Kailey Marshall's Songs for Slutty Girls will have an NYC industry reading February 26 at Haswell Greens. Featuring a book, music, and lyrics by Marshall, it chronicles one woman's experiences of the ecstasy, pain, and hilarity of sex.
The new musical examines a year in the life of one woman, represented by four aspects of her personality: Head, Heart, Gut, and Hip. At the start of a new year, she is hoping to make some big changes.
“I started writing Songs For Slutty Girls when I was 20. I looked at the musical theatre canon and realized that there weren’t any funny, truthful songs about sex or sexuality from the female perspective...My hope for this show is that it’s an opportunity to dance in your seat, drunk text your ex, and realize that you’re not alone in this crazy world of sex and dating," said Marshall in a statement.
Songs for Slutty Girls will feature direction and choreography by Jen Wineman and music direction by Lena Gabrielle. The cast will include Leana Rae Concepcion (Merrily We Roll Along), Sydney Kane, Tatiana Lofton (A Beautiful Noise, Little Shop of Horrors), and Ryann Redmond (Frozen).
Casting is by Eisenberg Casting's Daryl Eisenberg. The show is produced by Emis Entertainment. William Spinnato serves as stage manager, and Visceral Entertainment provides general management.
