The roller-skating company, directed and choreographed by associate artistic director Matthew Gardiner at Signature's MAX Theatre in Arlington, VA, will also feature Mark Chandler, Jamie Eacker, Kellee Knighten Hough and Nickolas Vaughan.
The Best Musical Tony Award nominee has book by Douglas Carter Beane (Sister Act, Lysistrata Jones), with music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. Brady appeared in Broadway's South Pacific (also on tour). Weaver won the Helen Hayes Award for playing Thomasina in Folger's Arcadia.
According to Signature, "It is 1980 in Venice, California. Legwarmers are in and roller skates are way sexy. Kira, one of seven quirky Greek muses, is sworn to three things: to inspire mortals, never reveal her identity and never, ever fall in love. When she emboldens struggling artist Sonny to create the first roller disco, Kira feels the artistic pull of her own."
