Eden Espinosa stars as Flora, the Red Menace in the Reprise Theatre Company's production of the Kander and Ebb musical in Los Angeles.

Philip Himberg directs and Christopher Pilafian choreographs the musical currently playing UCLA's Freud Playhouse.

Espinosa appears opposite Manoel Felciano, Megan Lawrence, Gibby Brand, Wilkie Ferguson, Perry Ojeda, Katie O'Toole, Matthew Rocheleau and Katherine von Till.

Featuring music by John Kander, lyrics by the late Fred Ebb and David Thompson's revision of George Abbott's book, the 1935-set Flora, the Red Menace centers on "Flora, an optimistic and headstrong young woman, [who] is looking to make her way in New York as a fashion designer when she finds herself falling for the shy Harry, a WPA artist who convinces her to join the Communist party," according to press notes.

Here is a look at the production:
