The cast features Ryan Alexander, who starred in the York's 2001 production of Roadside, as well as Erick Devine (Seussical), Janine DiVita (Odyssey, The Musical), Jamie LaVerdiere (The Producers), Daniel C. Levine (Les Miserables), Ed Watts (The Fantasticks) and Nick Wyman (The Phantom of the Opera).
Roadside is billed as "a melodic, rip-roaring musical based on a play by Lynn Riggs... Roadside is a Southwestern love story of mythic proportions about two kissin', punchin', cussin', larger-than-life characters who refuse to settle down and be 'house-broke' by the arrival of fences and laws."
Here's a look at the production:
