Still don't understand the Parisians? Let Vanessa Hudgens help. The Broadway production of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s Gigi opens officially at the Neil Simon Theatre on April 8. The Eric Schaeffer-helmed production stars Hudgens, Corey Cott and Tony winner Victoria Clark.
To celebrate the musical’s big night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this portrait of the bubbly cast at play. In addition to Hudgens as Gigi, Cott as Gaston Lachaille and Clark as Mamita, the sketch includes Howard McGillin as Honoré Lachaille, Dee Hoty as Aunt Alicia and Steffanie Leigh as Liane d’Exelmans.
Broadway.com wishes a magnifique opening to the entire cast of Gigi. Keep the champagne flowing! But please drink responsibly—you have a show tomorrow.
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
