A Two-Show Day With Andrew Keenan-Bolger at Paper Mill's World Premiere Musical Ever After
Directed and choreographed by three-time Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall, the new musical has a book and lyrics by Marcy Heisler and music by Zina Goldrich.
Performances continue through June 21. The cast is headed by two-time Tony winner Christine Ebersole as Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent, Tony Award nominee Tony Sheldon as Leonardo da Vinci, Emmy Award winner Charles Shaugnessy as King Francis, James Snyder as Prince Henry and Drama Desk Award nominee Margo Seibert as Danielle de Barbarac.
Based on the 1998 film starring Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston, Ever After, press notes state, "sets the record straight on the fable of Cinderella. Her name was Danielle and it was always about her wit, her smarts, her strength and her good friend Leonardo da Vinci. She makes her own dreams come true. Warm and romantic, funny and smart, this is the musical you’ve been waiting for."
Tickets may be purchased by calling (973) 376-4343, at the Paper Mill Playhouse Box Office at 22 Brookside Drive in Millburn, or online at PaperMill.org.
A statement from the Off-Broadway company's board of directors pledges a future "filled with diversity," and "to continue our long legacy of supporting artists of all backgrounds."
