Foley, Mendez and Wolfe Join Sherie Rene Scott in Everyday Rapture

Complete casting has been announced for Second Stage’s upcoming production of Everyday Rapture, Tony Award nominee Sherie Rene Scott’s semi-autobiographical new musical co-penned by fellow Tony nominee Dick Scanlan. The show, directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer, begins previews on April 7 with opening set for May 3.

Joining the previously announced Scott are Eamon Foley, Lindsay Mendez and Betsey Wolfe, who will help tell the show’s story of a young woman’s psycho-sexual-spiritual journey on the rocky path that separates her mostly Mennonite past from her mostly Manhattan future. Her life takes her from the cornfields of Kansas to the clover fields of New York with a disturbing detour through YouTube. Everyday Rapture features songs made famous by David Byrne, George Harrison, U2, The Dap Kings and Judy Garland. Scott presented an earlier form of the show titled You May Now Worship Me last March 31 as a one-night benefit for the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative of The Actors’ Fund.

Foley most recently appeared on Broadway in composer and former Scott collaborator Jason Robert Brown’s musical 13. Additional Broadway credits include How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Assassins and Gypsy.

Mendez was an original cast member of the recent Broadway revival of Grease. Regional and touring credits include Footloose Sacramento Music Circus, Princesses NAMT, Goodspeed Opera House, Grease European Tour, Call Me Madam Reprise! and Go the Distance: The Lyrics of David Zippel Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Wolfe has appeared on Broadway in 110 in the Shade, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Wonderful Life. Regionally, she has been seen it Ragtime Paper Mill Playhouse, Ace Old Globe Theatre and Tommy Dallas Theatre Center. Her TV credits include Camelot at Lincoln Center.
