Another theatre company is making their inside debut with a bang.
Quick facts
The Atlanta Lyric Theatre is presenting their first annual “Best of Broadway” revue, June 10-13, 2021. In this splashy show, a cast of 18 performers will cover multiple genres of musical theatre and dance (including tap- a Lyric audience favorite).
About the revue
The Lyric says they received 119 video submissions from performers all vying for the 6 lead vocalist spots in the show. “Lyric staff poured over the videos searching for a group of singers whose voices not only compliment each other,” they said, “but who individually have star power!” The lead vocalists the Lyric staff chose are: Mandy Kerridge, Jarius Cliett, Juan Unzueta, Kendra Johnson, Andrew Fehrenbacher, and Emma Yaniger.
The show’s three choreographers, Lauren Brook Tatum, Tecia Chavez, and Kari Twyman, are also performers in the ensemble. Rounding out the brilliant ensemble are Grace Arnold, Eugene Bois, Arjaye Johnson, Tassy Kirbas, Lawson Lewallen, Eddie Estrada, Izzi Robles, and fan favorite, J Koby Parker.
