Casting changes have been announced for Leigh Silverman's Encores! Off-Center revival of Andrew Lippa's musical The Wild Party, which will run from July 15-18 at New York City Center. Newly announced cast members will include Joaquina Kalukango (who replaces Ciara Renee) and Talene Monahon (who replaces Kimiko Glenn). Choreography will be by Sonya Tayeh with Chris Fenwick serving as music director.

The previously announced cast features two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster (Violet) as Queenie, Brandon Victor Dixon (Motown the Musical) as Black, Steven Pasquale (The Bridges of Madison County) as Burrs, Miriam Shor (Younger) as Madelaine True, John Ellison Conlee (Murder Ballad) as Eddie, Kimiko Glenn (Orange Is the New Black) as Mae, and Ciara Renée (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) as Kate.

Lippa's The Wild Party, adapted from the Jazz Age narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, is the story of one tragic, decadent night in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and her menacing lover Burrs. The couple decides to throw the party to end all parties, where Queenie meets a handsome stranger who wants to lure her away. The show opened at Manhattan Theatre Club on February 24, 2000, and played 54 performances, with Pasquale making his New York stage debut in the ensemble.
