Randy Harrison stars as iconic artist Andy Warhol in the new musical POP!, which began performances Nov. 27 at the Yale Repertory Theatre.



Mark Brokaw (After Miss Julie, Cry-Baby, This Is Our Youth) directs the world premiere that will officially open Dec. 3 and run through Dec. 19. POP! has book and lyrics by Maggie-Kate Coleman and music by Anna K. Jacobs.

Harrison leads a cast that also features Leslie Kritzer, Brian Charles Rooney, Doug Kreeger, Cristen Paige, Danny Binstock and Emily Swallow.

Press notes for POP! read: "Who shot Andy Warhol? The fabulous drag queen Candy Darling hosts a happening whodunit musical in which the famous — and infamous — denizens of Warhol's legendary Factory all have motives to pull the trigger. But the pop art icon unravels an even bigger mystery as he confronts not only the prime suspects, but also his art and his own greatest creation: himself."
