Set to run July 15-18 at City Center, Leigh Silverman will direct The Wild Party, with choreography by Sonya Tayeh.

Also in the cast are Steven Pasquale (The Bridges of Madison County, Carousel) as Burrs, Brandon Victor Dixon (Motown) as Black, Foster (Violet, Anything Goes) as Queenie, John Ellison Conlee (Murder Ballad, Full Monty) as Eddie and original Off-Broadway Hedwig star Miriam Shor as Madelaine True.

Pasquale made his New York Stage debut in the original 2000 production of The Wild Party for MTC Theatre. He understudied the role of Burrs.

The ensemble will be completed by Penelope Armstead-Williams, James Brown III, Rachel DeBenedet, Raymond J. Lee, Kenita Miller, Sydney Morton, Clifton Oliver, Charlie Pollock, Britton Smith, Ryan Steele and Samantha Sturm.

Lippa’s The Wild Party, adapted from the Jazz Age narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, "is the story of one tragic, decadent night in a Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie (Sutton Foster) and her menacing lover Burrs (Steven Pasquale). The couple decides to throw the party to end all parties, where Queenie meets a handsome stranger (Brandon Victor Dixon) who wants to lure her away."

All tickets begin at $25 and can be purchased at the New York City Center Box Office (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix at (212) 581-1212, or online at NYCityCenter.org.
