FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Pierre-Jacques Brault, Artistic Director Mercury Theatre Company, 216.771.5862 Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel June 9-24, 2017 South Euclid, OH – Mercury Theatre Company, Cleveland’s professional summer theatre at Notre Dame College, opens its 19th Season with a reimagined production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic musical, Carousel, June 9 - 24. After a bank robbery gone wrong, carousel barker Billy Bigelow is given a second chance to make things right for the love-of-his-life Julie Jordan and the child he never got to meet. Carousel features some of the pair’s best-loved songs: “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “If I Loved You,” and the seven-minute powerhouse, “Soliloquy”. Time Magazine calls this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic tale of love and redemption the “greatest musical of the twentieth century.” “It’s got unforgettable characters, moments of pure theatrical magic and the lushest and most resonant music Rodgers and Hammerstein ever wrote, centered on a passionate quest for redemption,” says Mercury Theatre Company Artistic Director Pierre Brault. “I’m trying not to feel too much pressure, but it’s kind of the greatest musical of all time.” The cast is led by Ryan Everett Wood as Billy Bigelow and MTC favorite Jennifer Myor as Julie Jordan. Fresh off the Beauty and the Beast national tour, Ryan Everett Wood is making his Mercury Theatre Company debut in his “dream role to end all dream roles.” Jennifer returns to Mercury for her 7th season, having just been awarded the Best Featured Actress in a Musical award for her performance as Agnes Gooch in Virginia Musical Theatre’s production of Mame in February. The pair heads a cast of 26, including Lynnette Turner as Nettie Fowler.

Review of "Red Ash Mosaic" at Cleveland Public Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 04 Jun '17

04 Jun '17

CPT’s haunting ‘Red Ash Mosaic’ takes a deep dive into poetic theater Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics “… indelible and idiosyncratic.” “… a wide array of styles from vast corners of the globe, often intermingled together in ingenious ways.” “… a seamless fusion of the familiar and the exotic.” “… an expression of beauty, strength and endurance, despite the grim subject matter.” These are quotes from reviews of Paul Simon’s quintuple-platinum album “Graceland” which, on the surface, have nothing whatsoever to do with Cleveland Public Theatre’s current production of “Red Ash Mosaic” – a haunting, esoteric and original experiment in theatrical form that is targeted, according to a press release, for “the bold, the curious, the brave.” For more of this article, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.
