Rapp directs a cast that also includes Guy Boyd, David Greenspan, Halley Wegryn Gross, Phoebe Strole, Betsy Aidem, Connor Barrett, Susan Blommaert and Jessy Hodges.
The Metal Children is billed as a "timely drama about a New York writer and his explosive encounter with a small American town that he travels to in order to defend one of his young adult novels, which has been banned by the local school board," according to Vineyard. "The controversy ignites heated emotions over religious beliefs and censorship."
The Max Martin musical features a number of his most beloved songs, including “…Baby One More Time,” “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone,” “It’s My Life,” “I Want It That Way,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” and more.
