Next week I'm doing a reading of the new musical The Last Days of Cleopatra. It's about the making of the 1963 movie Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. I'm writing the book and directing. Charlie Barnett is writing the music and lyrics. It's a project I'm VERY excited about, and we have an unbelievable cast!!! See below:
Jill Paice as Elizabeth Taylor
Bradley Dean as Richard Burton
John Bolton as Vic (a reporter)
Brad Oscar as Joe Mankiewicz
Mark Lotito as Spyros Skouras
Matt Bogart as Rock Hudson
Victor Wallace as Montgomery Clift
Andrew Call as the ghost of James Dean
Fred Berman as Eddie Fisher
Morgan James as Sybil Burton
Steve Pacek as Timmy (a photographer)
And to highlight the fact that this is a dream cast, our "ensemble" is made up of:
Marya Grandy
Heather Ayers
Jill Abramovitz
Ben Crawford
Craig Waletzko
