Directed by Chris Presley with musical direction by David Andrews Rogers, the 3 PM readings will feature the talents of Euan Morton (Taboo) in the title role with Autumn Hurlbert (MTV's "Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods"), Matt Bogart (Jersey Boys, Aida) and Anastasia Barzee (White Christmas, Urinetown). The company will comprise Nehal Joshi, David Edwards, Tiffani Barbour, Darrel Blackburn, Christina DeCicco, Christy Faber, Lucia Giannetta, Brian Golub, Kyle Harris, Todd Alan Johnson, Andrew Kober, John Eric Parker, Steve Routman, Sheri Sanders, Molly Sorohan and Mathenee Treco.

Caligula features with book, music and lyrics by Eric Svejcar. The musical, according to press notes, "is placed in an ancient rock-and-roll theatre somewhere between the years 41 and 1973 (or perhaps both simultaneously). This particular ancient theatre just happens to somehow have electricity, a bitchin' sound system, a light show, a rock band, and costumes more in the world of Ziggy Stardust than Julius Caesar. History's most notorious tyrant takes the audience on a musical journey of murder, sensuality, heartbreak, world domination, immortality, and absurdly unmitigated ego."

Producers are Rich Affannato in association with Meri Krassner.

Caligula, with Morton, was previously seen in the 2004 New York Musical Theatre Festival.
