‘Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet,’ First New Off-Broadway Musical, Announces Premiere (Exclusive)
In another sign that New York’s cultural life is coming back after a long Covid-era hiatus, “A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet” will premiere in September. The show will be the first new musical to debut Off-Broadway since the pandemic shutdown went into effect in March 2020.
The show is the brainchild of Alex Wyse, the creator and star of “Indoor Boys” and a cast-member of Deaf West’s recent “Spring Awakening” revival, and Ben Fankhauser, one of the actors in the cast of “Newsies” and “Beautiful.” The two wrote the book, music, and lyrics. It will be directed by Marshall Pailet (“Baghdaddy”) and choreography will be overseen by Stephanie Klemons, the associate choreographer of “Hamilton.” The musical begins previews on Friday, September 17th, at the DR2 Theatre, with an opening night set for Monday, September 27th. The limited engagement will run through Sunday, November 14th, 2021.
