Full Casting Announced for Avett Brothers Musical Swept Away Starring John Gallagher Jr. & Stark Sands

Full casting is here for the upcoming Avett Brothers musical Swept Away. The previously announced world premiere tuner, directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer, will play California's Berkeley Repertory Theatre from June 14 through July 26.

Newly announced cast members include Wayne Duvall (Broadway's 1984) as Captain and Adrian Blake Enscoe (Dickinson) as Little Brother, with an ensemble featuring Taurean Everett, Dan Gleason, Ebrin R. Stanley, Jacob Keith Watson and Nikita Burshteyn.

They join the previously announced Tony winner John Gallagher Jr. as Mate and two-time Tony nominee Stark Sands as Older Brother.

With a book by Tony winner John Logan (Red, Moulin Rouge!) and featuring the music of the Avett Brothers, Swept Away is set in 1888, off the coast of New Bedford, MA. When a violent storm sinks their whaling ship, the four surviving souls—a young man (Enscoe) in search of adventure, his older brother (Sands) who has sworn to protect him, a captain (Duvall) at the end of a long career at sea and a worldly first mate (Gallagher) who has fallen from grace—each face a reckoning.

The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their major-label debut, I and Love and You, later earning acclaim for The Carpenter, Magpie and the Dandelion and True Sadness, which achieved their highest career debut to date.

Swept Away will feature music arrangements and orchestrations by Chris Miller and Brian Usifer.
