This year’s 24 Hour Musicals event June 22 has announced its artistic team, which includes Jesse Eisenberg, Bonnie Milligan, Morgan Siobhan Green, David Iocono, Cassadee Pope, and Warren Leight.
The 24 Hour Musicals bring together artists from across the entertainment industry to create and perform four brand new musicals in a single day at The Lynn F. Angelson Theater. Other artists joining the mad dash feat include Ashlie Atkinson, Rodd Cyrus, Kate Wetherhead, Dee Roscioli, Olli Haaskivi, Michael Mitnick, Alex Gibson, Natalie Walker, Eli Colin, Faye Chiao, Tasha Gordon-Solmon, Fouad Dakwar, Christopher Sears, and Colm Summers, with additional cast and creative team members to be announced.
The marathon process begins the night before the performance when writers, composers, directors, choreographers, actors, musicians, and production staff gather to orient themselves and begin crafting their musicals. The next morning, actors receive their roles and begin to workshop each piece alongside a team of directors, choreographers, and musicians.
“The 24 Hour Musicals are an unforgettable theater experience for audiences and artists alike,” Artistic Director Mark Armstrong shared in a press statement. “When this incredible group of creatives come together to run the gauntlet at The Lynn F. Angelson Theatre, they’ll use all their talents to create a singular, non-replicable experience for everyone who takes part. When artists put themselves out there in this way, while trusting their peers (many of whom they may be meeting for the first time), The 24 Hour Musicals creates a creative bond that can transcend the one-night-only performance.”
