Nick Cearley, who originated the role in the one-man musical whirlwind … And Then I Wrote a Song About It, reprises his role at Diversionary in the west coast premiere, opening March 25.
… And Then I Wrote a Song About It had its world premiere at the New York City area theatre Luna Stage last November, directed by Igor Goldin. Goldin directs the Diversionary production.
Set to the rhythm of the disco era and beyond, this earnest yet uproarious musical breaks new ground with its tour-de-force cast of one. The musical follows the adventures of a perspiring actor-singer-songwriter-dancer-secretary as he searches for love and fame in the early 1980s.
With book by Eric H. Weinberger, music by Daniel S. Acquisto and lyrics by Sammy Buck, the show was hailed by The Star-Ledger as “extraordinarily smart, engaging and endearing” and by Talkin’ Broadway as a “joyful, funny, lighthearted musical.”
… And Then I Wrote a Song About It previews March 25; the show opens March 26, 8 p.m.
