Full casting has been announced for a February 13 private industry reading of the new Broadway-bound musical adaptation of the Richard Matheson novel and the Universal Pictures film Somewhere in Time.
Tony Award nominee Laura Osnes heads the company as Elise McKenna, alongside Tony nominee Marc Kudisch as William Robinson. Drama Desk Award nominee Ryan Silverman takes on the role of Richard Collier. The cast also features David Cryer as Arthur and Jake Katzman as Young Arthur, with an ensemble made up of Leslie Becker, Joel Blum, Giovanni Bonaventura, Erin Burniston, Meggie Cansler, Will Erat, Leslie Flesner, John Jellison, Lizzie Klemperer, Erik Liberman, Aaron Ramey, Benjie Randall, and Jennifer Smith.
Somewhere in Time features a score by Doug Katsaros and Amanda Yesnowitz, with a book by Ken Davenport. It had its world-premiere production in spring 2013 at Portland Center Stage and starred Andrew Samonsky and Hannah Elless.
Based on Matheson's novel and its subsequent film adaptation starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, Somewhere in Time follows young playwright Richard Collier who has an encounter with a mysterious old woman on the opening night of his earliest success. Years later, with his life and career in disarray, he checks into a storied hotel for some quiet contemplation and finds himself traveling back in time to the year 1912 where he falls in love with an actress from the past.
Somewhere in Time will be directed by Dan Knechtges and feature set design by Eugene Lee, costume design by Linda Cho, lighting design by Christopher Ackerlind, orchestrations by Doug Katsaros, and musical direction by Paul Staroba.
