Legally Blonde associate director Marc Bruni and associate choreographer Denis Jones serve as director and choreographer, respectively, on the production that returns to the Algonquin following an engagement last winter. The musical will officially open Nov. 3 and is currently on-sale through Dec. 29.
The cast comprises Hurlbert (Legally Blonde) as Susy, Peluso (Lestat) as Nick, Jane Blass (Hairspray) as Ellie, Laura Jordan (Cry-Baby) as Coral, Daren Kelly (Crazy for You) as Nelson and Glenn Peters as Streffy.
Based on the novel by Edith Wharton, Glimpses of the Moon features music by John Mercurio and book and lyrics by Tajlei Levis. The musical, according to press notes, follows "the jazzy whirl of Manhattan society, from champagne-soaked dinner parties, to luxurious vacation cottages and back to New York's elegant hotels. [The musical concerns the] popular but penniless Suzy Branch and her friend Nick Lansing [who] devise the ultimate fund-raising scheme: to marry and live off the wedding gifts while they help one another find suitable millionaires. The plan works perfectly — until they fall in love."
The creative team also includes Ted LeFevre (scenic consultant), Deb Gaouette (props designer), Richard Winkler (lighting designer) and Lisa Zinni (costume designer).
