Presented by Holson Productions, News in Revue is directed by writer Holson, with choreography and co-direction by Jay Falzone. Jason Lofreddo is the production's musical director. Holson created News in Revue in 1991. The show played 120 performances Off-Broadway during the 1992 election and was subsequently performed on PBS stations, garnering 15 Emmy nominations and five wins. The New York company will include Falzone, Jason Levinson, Andrea McCormick, Rebecca Young and musical director Lofreddo.
