Sympathy Jones at the Julia Miles Theatre

Sympathy Jones, a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Masi Asare, and book by Brooke Pierce, will play at the Julia Miles Theatre from 24 Sep - 4 Oct 2007, as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Sympathy Jones: Tells the story of Sympathy Jones, an overqualified receptionist at a prestigious intelligence agency, who dreams of becoming a super spy. When Sympathy is passed over � yet, again � for a promotion to agent, she decides to take matters into her own hands and steals a top-secret file.

She quickly sets out to stop evil mastermind Katherine 'Kitty' Hawk, the leader of the Secret Coalition for Revenge, Assassination, Terrorism, Counterintelligence and Heists (S.C.R.A.T.C.H.). From gadgets to henchmen and bombs to bombshells, the quirky heroine braves it all and, in the process, discovers there is more to being a spy than putting on a catsuit.

The musical will be directed by Sarah Gurfield and choreographed by Christine O�Grady. The full cast and design team will be announced shortly.
