Matthew Morrison, Irene Molloy Set for Atlantic's New Musical 10 Million Miles
10 Million Miles tells the story of Duane Morrison and Molly's Molloy road trip in an old pick-up truck from the southern tip of Florida to the Northwest corner of New York, with many detours along the way. The musical explores the pursuit of love and family and the geography of the American dream. Sudduth and Winningham are billed as "the men" and "the women," respectively.
Molloy landed the lead role in the original production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind while still in high school and earned a Helen Hayes Award nomination prior to making her Broadway debut in The Civil War. Workshops include Sweet Smell of Success and Summer. Molloy was a series regular on the WB's Grosse Pointe and Fox's Andy Richter Controls the Universe.
