Scenes From the Book of Candy, a musicalization of the controversial Terry Southern novel, surfaced Memorial Day weekend as "a staged reading-and-singing" held at the John Harms Theatre in Englewood, N.J. An strong cast turned up to do the honors, under the direction of Ahvi Spindell: Martin Vidnovic, Kerry O'Malley, Evalyn Baron, Willy Falk, Danny Burstein, Adam Heller, Joanna Glushak and Lori Ada.
The piece, which has music by Mel Marvin and book and lyrics by Susan Dworkin, is in development with The McCarter Theatre and The John Harms Theatre.
