On Thursday, September 23, Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore sat down with members of the press to talk about the musical version of her book, Freckleface Strawberry, which began performances at New World Stages on September 9 in anticipation of an official opening on October 1.
The show tells the story of a seven-year-old girl named Strawberry who is desperate to get rid of or disguise her plentiful freckles and fiery hair so that her classmates will stop making fun of her.
The show features Hayley Podschun as Strawberry, along with Jessica Bishop, Andrew Cristi, Linda Gabler, Kimiko Glenn, Joey Haro, Mykal Kilgore, Eric Nelsen, and Morgan Smith. Buddy Crutchfield has directed the production, which has choreography by Gail Pennington Crutchfield. The show has music and lyrics by Gary Kupper, and a book by Gary Kupper and Rose Caiola.
The production features set design by Beowulf Boritt; costumes by Fabio Toblini and Holly Cain; lighting design by Jason Kantrowitz; and sound design by Peter Fitzgerald and Chris Cronin.
