Newsical 2006 at the Village theatre

A new version of Rick Crom's topical musical revue Newsical 2006 : The Next Edition will play at the Village Theatre from the 17 - 31 Dec 2005.

Newsical 2006 : The Next Edition is the new version of the show that came to New York last year at Upstairs at Studio 54, running for 8 months before going on a national tour and two sit down productions. Lauded for its up-to-the-minute headline news satirization, Newsical reminded audiences of the kind of political satire on stage that was once as prevalent as it is in film and television now. Created at a breakneck pace to keep up with the day's news cycle, Newsical spoofs both current events as well as perennial media targets in a musical send-up.

The cast for Newsical 2006 : The Next Edition, directed by Donna Drake, features Stephanie Kurtzuba, Trisha Rapier, Jamison Stern and John Tartaglia.

Newsical 2006 has costumes by David Kaley and lighting by Michael Flink.
