Daisy and Violet are ready to return to the Great White Way. Tickets are now available for the revival of Side Show, starring Erin Davie and Emily Padgett. The two will reprise their performances in the production, following successful runs in San Diego and Washington D.C. Previews are set to begin on October 28 at the St. James Theatre, with opening night scheduled for November 17. Bill Condon directs the reimagined staging of the 1997 musical, which features music by Henry Krieger, book and lyrics by Bill Russell and additional book material by Condon.
Based on the true story of conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton, Side Show is a moving portrait of two women joined at the hip whose extraordinary bondage brings them fame during the Depression era, but denies them love. The tuner features songs including “I Will Never Leave You” and “Who Will Love Me As I Am?”
The production will feature choreography by Anthony Van Laast, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, set design by David Rockwell, costume design by Paul Tazewell, sound design by Peter Hylenski, illusions by Paul Kieve and orchestrations by Harold Wheeler.
Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
