The Old Globe announced the full cast and creative team for the American premiere of the London musical Ride. Featuring book, music, and lyrics by Freya Catrin Smith, music and lyrics by Jack Williams, and direction by Sarah Meadows, Ride will run March 30-April 28 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, part of the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.
