ICCT - The Iowa City Community Theatre has released the cast lists for the next two productions: Cinderella, which opens December 10th at the Johnson County Fair Grounds, and My Fair Lady in Concert, which will be presented at the Englert Theatre January 7th and 8th.

Rehearsal, costuming and set construction are already well underway for Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Ben Bentler is directing the show as a part of ICCT’s regular season. Cinderella will run the weekends of December 10th, 11th, 12th and 17th, 18th and 19th.

The cast is:

Cinderella- Janelle Barrow
Prince-Dustin Sorrell
Godmother-Elizabeth Breed
Stepmother-Ken VanEgdon

Veteran director Josh Sazon and music director Ed Kottick have also started rehearsing Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady in Concert, which will be a staged reading similar to the well-received concert performance of South Pacific this past August.

The principals are:

Eliza Doolittle—Megan Keiser
Henry Higgins—Josh Sazon
Alfred Doolittle—John Muriello
Colonel Pickering—Howard Meadows
Freddy Eynsford-Hill—Brian Jones
Mrs. Higgins—Caroline Oster
Mrs. Pearce—Jen Gerbyshak

Like South Pacific in Concert, the dialogue of My Fair Lady will be pared down and sets and costuming minimal, creating a more streamlined presentation of the beloved story of one woman’s transformation from Tottenham-Court Road flower vendor to proper lady. It is being presented in addition to ICCT’s regular season.
