Full cast and creative team have been announced for the Prospect Theater Company’s production of Iron Curtain, featuring book by Susan DiLallo, lyrics by Peter Mills, music by Stephen Weiner, to run at Baruch College’s Nagelberg Theatre, November 5-27. The production, which will open officially on November 10, will be directed by Cara Reichel, with choreography by Christine O’Grady.

With the help of their madcap Soviet collaborators, the team gets a taste of the fame they never had in America.


The cast will include Maria Couch, Jenn Gambatese, Bobbi Kotula, Marcus Neville, David Perlman, Aaron Ramey, and Gordon Stanley.


The ensemble includes Sara Brophy, Ronn Burton, Clint Carter, John Fico, Andrea McCullough, James Patterson, Robby Sharpe and Aubrey Sinn.


The creative team includes Remy Kurs (musical supervision and orchestrations), Brandon Sturial (musical direction), Brian Prather (set design), Sidney Shannon (costume design),. Doug Harry (lighting design), and Andy Leviss (sound design).
