Steve Kazee Will Play Opposite Jane Krakowski in Mrs. Sharp Readings in NYC
Playwrights Horizons announced a principal cast change for the private readings of Mrs. Sharp, a new musical with book by Kirsten Guenther and music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson Grant recipient Ryan Scott Oliver. Steve Kazee will step in for Christian Borle.
Directed by three-time Tony Award nominee and Playwrights Horizons alumnus Michael Greif (Grey Gardens, Next to Normal, Rent), the invitation-only readings will take place July 30-31 at Playwrights Horizons, 416 W. 42nd Street.
Kazee (Broadway's 110 in the Shade, Spamalot, To Be or Not To Be) has stepped in to replace the previously announced Borle (Legally Blonde), who has had to withdraw due to a movie shoot conflict.
Kazee joins Tony Award winner and 2009 Emmy Award nominee Jane Krakowski (Nine, "30 Rock," additional Tony nomination for Grand Hotel) in a 12-member cast that will also feature Curt Hansen, Kyle Harris, Jeff Hiller, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Marla Mindelle, Amina Robinson, Preston Sadleir, Ali Stroker, Sam Tedaldi and Alex Wyse. Dominick Amendum will serve as music director.
Playwrights Horizons is presenting the readings with support from The Richard Rodgers Foundation. The show is a Richard Rodgers Award winner. The readings are invitation-only and closed to the press and the public.
