Writer/Director Tim Realbuto and His Cast of "Wunderkind" Visit the GingerNewYork TV Show

NEW YORK - Sept. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Tim Realbuto: the award winning performer and co-writer of Ghostlight the musical, has been touring his successful not-so-solo solo show about his life growing up in the theatre since July. The next stop on the tour is Monday, October 13th at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at 7:00 PM, with Osnes in tow. Osnes was last seen in Cinderella and Bonnie and Clyde.

Wunderkind started as Tim Realbuto: Alone (With Plenty of Help), which enjoyed a sold-out run at 54 Below in July. The re-named and revamped version made its first stop at The Triad Theatre on Monday, September 1st, which happened to be Tim’s 30’s birthday. The tour continues October 13th at the Beechman, and November at Joe’s Pub, with plans to bring the show to Orlando in late December.

This is how Wunderkind is described: “Former child “star” and current NYC based award-winning writer and performer Tim Realbuto (Ghostlight; The Emperor’s Club) has just turned 30 and is struggling with where he fits in the world, where he has been and where he is going. In this deeply personal, poignant, and hilarious show Tim will tell the (mostly) true story of how he grew up in show business and went from former child actor to the adult writer of the popular new Broadway-Bound musical Ghostlight. Some of Tim’s famous Broadway friends will help him along the way, playing different characters from his past, as well as the voices in his head. Expect an evening filled with plenty of well-known tunes, originals, diva impressions, and special guest appearances from popular stars of stage and screen. Was Tim ever a wunderkind? Is it too late to become one now? Isn’t that funniest sounding word ever?” Tim Realbuto: Wunderkind is written and conceived by Realbuto, with musical direction provided by Julianne B. Merrill.

Aside from Laura Osnes, special guests for the October 13th performance include the previously announced Derek Klena (Dogfight), Jenna Leigh Green (“Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”), Ariana DeBose (Pippin), Laurissa Romain (South Pacific), Kimberly Faye Greenberg (Danny and Sylvia), and Tim’s Ghostlight co-writer Matthew Martin. The ensemble will feature David Colston Corris (Avenue Q), Julie D’Moure (C’est la Vie), Chris Jehnert (Hairspray), newcomer Thomas Ian Johnson, Justin Anthony Long (“City of Dreams”), and Allison St. Rock (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson). At least one more guest star will be announced in the coming weeks. (Source: Suzanna Bowling, Times Square Chronicles)
