New musical Fowl Play will make its New York debut with a developmental showcase at Off-Broadway's AMT Theater August 8–17. The work features a book by Billy Recce and Yoni Weiss and a score by Recce. Tye Blue (Titaníque) is directing.

The show follows two queer best friends who are tasked with writing an apology musical for a homophobic fried chicken restaurant chain. Press notes describe it as a "love letter to the industrial musicals of the 1960s and a side-splitting satire of rainbow capitalism."

The cast will feature Selma Nilla (aka Parker Lawhorne), Jayke Workman (Chicago), Stephen Brower (Lempicka), Mamie Parris (Cats), Max Clayton (Chicago), Darius Rose (aka Jackie Cox of RuPaul's Drag Race fame), William H. Martin (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Daniel Quadrino (The Who's Tommy), Burgandy Williams, and Maya Lagerstam. Casting is by Alex Cortinas.

The creative team includes choreographer Anthoyn Murphy, music director and orchestrator Cole P. Abod, scenic and costume designer Brendan McCann, lighting and projection designer Scott Leff, and sound designer Rachel Kolb. Hannah Frye Ginsburg and Rose Tablizo are stage managing.

The project is being produced by Evan Schild and Daniel Neale. Tickets are available at AttendTheFowlPlay.com.
