Cast Set for Stewart F. Lane's In the Wings at the Promenade Theatre
Set in 1978, In the Wings tells the story of a Jewish boy, Steve Prince and a non-Jewish woman Melinda Datz, two aspiring actors in love with each other and the theater. They get their big break when they are cast in a new musical, "I Married A Communist," written by their svengali-like acting teacher Bernardo Scolari. But when the show moves to Broadway, only Melinda is asked to move with it.
Datz was in the original casts of the Broadway productions of Titanic and The Full Monty. Prince appeared on the Great White Way in Little Me and Saturday Night Fever. Henderson recently appeared in As You Like It at the Delacorte Theatre. Sokol's Broadway credits include The Great God Brown, Don Juan, Welcome to the Club and Conversations With My Father. Scolari, best known for his television work on Bosom Buddies and Newhart for which he won an Emmy Award, has appeared on Broadway in Sly Fox and Hairspray and off-Broadway in A Flea in Her Ear, Reflections and Moliere in Spite of Himself.
