Cast Announced for NYMF Reading of The Pigeon Boys

Charlie Brady, Ben Davis, and David Perlman will star in a developmental reading of the new dramatic musical The Pigeon Boys, by Anne Berlin and Andrew Bleckner. Valentina Fratti will direct the reading, which will be presented as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, at TBG on September 30 at 1pm and 4:30pm.

The musical tells the story of the forgotten pigeoneers of World War II and explores the lives of three soldiers — an American, a Brit, and a German. As the boys face the harsh realities of war and one life-or-death mission, they reveal the mysteries of the 50,000 pigeons used to save the lives of soldiers and airmen.

Brady’s credits include South Pacific on Broadway and The Burnt Boys Off-Broadway. Davis’ Broadway credits include A Little Night Music, Les Miserables, La Boheme and Thoroughly Modern Millie and he most recently appeared onstage in Goodspeed’s Show Boat. Perlman has appeared on Broadway in Baby It’s You! and Off-Broadway in Yank!
