Judy McLane (Mamma Mia!) and Philip Hernandez (Kiss of the Spider Woman) have been announced to co-star in a revised version of Los Otros, the latest musical collaboration from Tony Award-nominated composer-lyricist Michael John LaChiusa and Tony-nominated book writer Ellen Fitzhugh.
Performances run March 22鈥揂pril 23 at Baltimore鈥檚 Everyman Theatre.
Noah Himmelstein, the theatre鈥檚 associate artistic director, will direct the new incarnation of the musical that has been revised since its 2012 world premiere at the Center Theatre Group.
Here鈥檚 how it鈥檚 billed: 鈥淭hrough a series of beautiful and intimate vignettes, two Californians, Lillian and Carlos, reflect on profound moments from the past in which their individual experiences (as a white woman and Hispanic man) are linked by a collective sense of 鈥榦therness.鈥� Juxtaposing such familiar human tensions as past/present, memory/mysticism and cultural/sexual identity, director Noah Himmelstein and musical director Jon Kalbfleisch command a production that is at once quietly perceptive and startlingly relevant in the context of today鈥檚 real-world social climate. Inspiring, energetic and emotionally charged, this semi-autobiographical work captures a universal story of interconnectedness, love, risk and revelation through the lens of two people鈥檚 lives.鈥�
鈥淓llen and Michael John are two of the most extraordinary thinkers in musical storytelling,鈥� Himmelstein said in a statement. 鈥淭he imaginative structure and near-cinematic breadth of Los Otros has inspired a visual design that echoes the experience of both characters, physically transforming as their stories unfold.鈥�
