The world premiere of The Wrong Man, a new musical by multi-platinum songwriter Ross Golan, extends its Off-Broadway engagement a second time, through November 24. The MCC Theater production, now in performances, was originally scheduled through October 27, and later extended through November 17.
Directed by Hamilton Tony winner Thomas Kail, The Wrong Man features a book, music, and lyrics by Golan. The story, which takes place in Reno, Nevada, follows a man who is framed for murder after being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The cast is led by Joshua Henry, Ciara Renée, and Ryan Vasquez, who are joined by Anoop Desai, Tilly Evans-Krueger, Malik Kitchen, Libby Lloyd, Amber Pickens, Kyle Robinson, Debbie Christine Tjong, and Julius Williams.
The cast is joined onstage by music director Taylor Peckham on keyboard, Dillon Kondor and Vin Landolfi on guitar, Alex Eckhardt on bass, and Jamie Eblen on drums.
The Wrong Man began previews September 18 ahead of an October 7 opening in The Newman Mills Theater at The Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space. The show's creative team reunites Kail with fellow Hamilton Tony winner Alex Lacamoire, who is the music supervisor, vocal arranger, and orchestrator. Peckham serves as music director, and two-time Emmy winner Travis Wall is choreographer.
The Wrong Man features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Jennifer Moeller and Kristin Isola, lighting design by Betsy Adams, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and make-up design by Tommy Kurzman, and casting by Telsey + Company. The production stage manager is Jason Pacella.
