The York Theatre Company has announced casting for the final selection of its 2016 Musicals in Mufti Series, Starting Here, Starting Now.

With music by David Shire and lyrics and direction by Richard Maltby Jr., the show explores the ups and downs of romantic relationships, from first kiss to painful breakup. Starting Here, Starting Now was first produced in 1976 by Manhattan Theatre Club, and later moved for a 120-performance commercial run at the Barbarann Theater Restaurant.

With music direction by Kevin Stites, the three-member cast will feature Krystal Joy Brown (Motown), Charlotte Maltby (Empire), and Bobby Conte Thornton (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum).

Starting Here, Starting Now will play a limited engagement at the York Theatre Company at Saint Peter’s, offering 10 performances only from March 12-20.
