Interart Theatre and Royal Family Productions present the U.S. premiere of Gary Duggan's Dedalus Lounge, which begins performances Jan. 8 at the Interart Theatre Annex in Manhattan.

Directed by Chris Henry, the play with music will officially open Jan. 12 for a limited engagement through Jan. 30.

The cast comprises Anthony Rapp (Rent), Dee Roscioli (Wicked) and James Kautz (Amoralists).

In Dedalus Lounge, press notes state, "Danny (Rapp), Delphine (Roscioli) and Daragh (Kautz) are trying to survive in Dublin’s fair city. Their usual haunt is the Dedalus Lounge — best bar in the city. Danny's trying to get a Queen tribute band off the ground. Delphine's struggling with a high profile affair and the fact that her granny's dying and Daragh, well, he can be seen in all places dark and dangerous. A jet-black Christmas tale of desperation, casual sex, bereavement, shoplifting, bisexuality, rampant disloyalty, copious drinking and Freddie Mercury impersonations."

The production features original music by Rapp and Daniel A. Weiss and choreography by JoAnn Hunter.

Interart Theatre Annex is located at 500 West 52nd Street, 2nd Floor. Tickets are $18 and can be purchased by visiting www.brownpapertickets.com or by calling (800) 838-3006.
