The American premiere of jazz and blues musical The City Club will begin previews April 3 at off-Broadway’s Minetta Lane Theatre and officially open on April 23. Directed by Mitchell Maxwell, The City Club features music and lyrics by James Compton, Tony DeMeur and Tim Brown and a book by Glenn M. Stewart. Casting will be announced shortly.
Set after Prohibition in 1934, The City Club tells the story of Charles “Chaz” Davenport, the privileged son of a corrupt family whose vice grip on their city is as tight as it is inescapable. Obsessed with music and the people who write it, play it, sing it and worship it, Chaz opens The City Club, a mecca of pure and unbridled musical genius, opportunity and escape. The City Club originally premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival.
The creative team of The City Club includes choreographer Lorin Latarro, scenic designer Rob Bissinger, costume designer David C. Woolard, lighting designer David F. Segal and sound designer Carl Casella.
