The York Theatre Company has released photos from the New York premiere of the musical A Taste of Things to Come, with book, music, and lyrics by Debra Barsha and Hollye Levin. Performances began November 9 for a limited engagement through December 11 at the York Theatre Company at Saint Peter’s. Opening night is set for November 17.
In the musical, four friends in Winnetka, Illinois, gather for a weekly Betty Crocker cooking contest, imagining how the prizes might change their lives. The plot is described as follows: "Usually, it’s LIFE Magazine that's read cover to cover in between mixing, sifting, and chopping. However, a different kind of reading material arrives, and shocked (but inspired) by the Kinsey Report, their lives take an interesting set of turns."
The four-member, all-female cast includes Janet Dacal (Wonderland), Paige Faure (Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella), Allison Guinn (On the Town), and Autumn Hurlbert (Legally Blonde).
Waitress choreographer Lorin Latarro makes her directorial debut with A Taste of Things to Come. She will also choreograph the production, which features music direction is by Gillian Berkowitz.
