It. Just. Won't. Die. Re-Animator The Musical re-opens at the Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles for a limited ten-week engagement, prior to its performance dates in New York and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Come check out the previews this week! Opens May 3.
Re-Animator tells the story of Herbert West, a brilliant young medical student who has created a glowing green serum that can bring the dead back to life. What should be a medical breakthrough results in hideous monstrosities and ghastly consequences. âI guess he just wasnât fresh enough,â is Westâs constant refrain as his quest for fresh subjects results in the murders of half the faculty of the medical school. The show recently won 6 LA Weekly Theater Awards including "Best Musical." - Music and lyrics by Mark Nutter. - Book by Dennis Paoli, Stuart Gordon and William J. Norris. - Adapted from the story by H.P. Lovecraft. - Based on the film "H.P. Lovecrafts Re-Animator" produced by Brian Yuzna. - Musical director: Peter Adams. - Choreography by Cynthia Carle. Directed by Stuart Gordon. - Produced by Dean Schramm and Stuart Gordon. The original cast is back! George Wendt, best known as the affable Norm from Cheers, plays the Dean of the Medical School who West transforms into a mindless zombie. Chris L. McKenna, the star of Gordonâs neo-noir thriller King of the Ants is Dan Cain, Herbertâs hapless roommate who finds himself drawn into the mayhem. And operatic Jesse Merlin, who played the President of the United States in the long-running The Beastly Bombing is Dr. Carl Hill who loses his head for Meg, the deanâs beautiful daughter (Rachel Avery) only to actually lose it at the hands of Herbert West. But thanks to the glowing re-agent, Dr. Hill is still able to take his curtain call with his head tucked underneath his arm. Rounding out the cast (in alphabetical order) are Mark Beltzman, Cynthia Carle, Brian Gillespie, Marlon Grace and Liesel Hanson, and featuring Graham Skipper as Herbert West.
