Donna Lynne Champlin, Danielle Lee Greaves, and More Set for Old Globe’s Working

Marie-France Arcilla, Donna Lynn Champlin, Wayne Duvall, Danielle Lee Greaves, Nehal Joshi, and Adam Monley will star in the Old Globe Theatre’s production of the musical Working, which will play March 7-April 12, with an opening on March 12.

Adapted by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso from the book by Studs Terkel, the musical was recently re-imagined by Schwartz and director Gordon Greenberg, with new songs added by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Tony Award-winning composer and star of Broadway’s current hit musical In the Heights.

This musical exploration of people’s feelings about their day-to-day existence features characters from all walks of life, ranging from trucker to housewife, waitress to corporate executive, fireman to schoolteacher. All of their songs, in which they describe their daily routines and discuss their hopes and aspirations, are true stories derived from Terkel’s interviews with actual members of the workforce. In addition to Miranda and Schwartz, the musical features songs by James Taylor, Micki Grant, Mary Rodgers, Craig Carnelia, Susan Birkenhead, Matt Landers, and Graciela Daniele.

The creative team will include Joshua Rhodes (choreographer), Mark
Hartman (musical director/conductor), Alex Lacamoire (orchestrator), Beowulf Boritt (scenic design), Mattie Ullrich (costume design), Jeff Croiter (lighting design), Tony Smolenski IV (sound design), and Aaron Rhyne (projection design).
