The press met with the cast of Enter Laughing (on its 50th Anniversary) at a recent sneak peek at the York Theatre and Theater Pizzazz was on the scene!
Based on Carl Reiner’s semi-autobiographical novel and Joseph Stein’s stage adaptation, this hilariously tuneful musical careens through the misadventures of star-struck, stage-struck, woman-struck teenager David Kolowitz, who pratfalls his way into manhood via the theatre in 1930s New York City. Enter Laughing: The Musical is the perfect show for anyone who has ever had a dream of stardom, an overbearing mother, a song in their heart, or just needs a heartfelt, side-splitting laughfest.
The ten-member cast features Raji Ahsan (Stage Door) as Pike, Farah Alvin (It Shoulda Been You) as Angela Marlowe, Dana Costello (Finding Neverland) as Miss B, Ray DeMattis (the original Grease) as Mr. Foreman, Chris Dwan (Finding Neverland) as David Kolowitz, Alison Fraser(Falsettos) as Mother, Robert Picardo (“Star Trek: Voyager”) as Father, David Schramm (Finian’s Rainbow) as Marlowe, Allie Trimm (Bye Bye Birdie) as Wanda, and Joe Veale (The Rivals) as Marvin. Direction and musical staging by Stuart Ross.
Limited engagement May 7 thru June 9 – York Theatre at St. Peter’s 619 Lexington Ave. NYC
