Pasadena Playhouse has released photos from its world-premiere production of Breaking Through, which opened last night. The run, which is scheduled through November 22, is helmed by artistic director Sheldon Epps.
Breaking Through stars Matt Magnusson and Broadway veteran Alison Luff (Matilda The Musical), with a company that also includes Kacee Clanton, Robert W. Arbogast, Will Collyer, Teya Patt, Katherine Tokarz, and Nita Whitaker. The ensemble features Fatima El-Bashir, Jessica Jaunich, Reed Kelly, Christopher Marcos, Dominic Pierson, Andrew Pirozzi, Terrance Spencer, Laura L. Thomas, and Samantha Zack.
With a book by Kirsten Guenther, and music and lyrics by Cliff Downs and Katie Kahanovitz, this new musical is told through the eyes of a young, talented singer and songwriter as she tries to navigate the treacherous shark-filled waters of the music business. She embarks on a compelling journey to find her way back to her authentic self and in the process rediscovers the music that truly makes her alive.
