Brandon Victor Dixon (Motown the Musical), Steven Pasquale (The Bridges of Madison County), and Miriam Shor (Younger) will join the previously announced two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster in Leigh Silverman's Encores! Off-Center revival of Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party. The musical will run from July 15-18 at New York City Center.

Foster leads the company as Queenie, with Dixon taking on the role of Black. He replaces Joshua Henry, who has bowed out because of scheduling conflicts. The principal company also includes Pasquale as Burrs, Shor (Foster's costar on TV Land's Younger) as Madelaine True, John Ellison Conlee (Murder Ballad) as Eddie, Kimiko Glenn (Orange Is the New Black) as Mae, and Ciara Renée (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) as Kate. The ensemble is made up of Penelope Armstead-Williams, James Brown III, Rachel DeBenedet, Raymond J. Lee, Kenita Miller, Talene Monahon, Sydney Morton, Clifton Oliver, Charlie Pollock, Britton Smith, Ryan Steele, and Samantha Sturm.

Lippa's The Wild Party, adapted from the Jazz Age narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, is the story of one tragic, decadent night in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie (Foster) and her menacing lover Burrs (Pasquale). The couple decides to throw the party to end all parties, where Queenie meets a handsome stranger (Dixon) who wants to lure her away. The show opened at Manhattan Theatre Club on February 24, 2000, and played 54 performances, with Pasquale making his New York stage debut in the ensemble.
