NEW YORK - April 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Shawn Fagan to play title role in Noël & Company’s staged reading of Liliom Tuesday April 23rd at the Players Club (16 Gramercy Park South).

Jessica Bates, Mairin Lee, John Keller and Leenya Rideout have also been added to the company. They join the previously announced Erin Davie, Nili Bassman, Marc Vietor, and Merwin Goldsmith.

Cabaret stars Andrea Marcovicci and Steve Ross will perform a pre-show “Prelude,” and the evening will also include an exhibit of treasures belonging to Eva Le Gallienne – who originated the role of Julie in the 1921 Broadway production of Liliom -- graciously provided by Helen Sheehy and Anne Kaufman.

The piece tells the story of the ill-fated romance between rough-hewn carnival barker Liliom and sweet-tempered servant girl Julie. The show is best known today as the inspiration for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. Noël & Company Artistic Director Keith Merrill will direct and Anne Kaufman will produce the event.

Tickets to Liliom are $15-$25. To order tickets or for more information, please visit www.noelandcompany.org
