BOOKTRESS LLC has launched – and what better way to kick off the hottest new resource for working actors in NYC?! A launch concert party, of course.
BOOKTRESS Offline is a concert party that will make you laugh, maybe make you cry, and take you through the “booking” stories (and “almost-booking” stories) of some of the greatest Broadway stars and brightest performers working in New York City.
The show will be hosted by Booktress Founder and Off-Broadway actress Elyssa Brette Mactas with a surprise co-host, and will feature Loni Ackerman (CATS, EVITA, THE MAGIC SHOW, NO NO NANETTE, GEORGE M!), Jenny Rose Baker (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN), Julie Benko (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, LES MISÉRABLES), Melanie Brook (50 SHADES! The Musical Parody), Virginia Cavaliere (IN THE HEIGHTS NAT’L TOUR, MAMMA MIA! Las Vegas), Marisa Dargahi (JASPER IN DEADLAND), Brandon Ellis (ONCE, COMPANY), LaVon Fisher-Wilson (CHICAGO, NEWSIES THE MUSICAL, LYSISTRATA JONES, THE COLOR PURPLE), Joey La Varco (13 THE MUSICAL), Ben Leibert (WICKED), Ellyn Marie Marsh (KINKY BOOTS), Clinton Roane (SCOTTSBORO BOYS), Brian Charles Rooney (THE THREEPENNY OPERA, NY Philharmonic’s CAMELOT), Josephine Spada (AMERICAN IDIOT NAT’L TOUR), Dominique Scott (ROCK OF AGES NAT’L TOUR), with additional performers to be announced! Produced by Megan Minutillo and Elyssa Mactas, with musical direction by Luke Williams (ANYTHING GOES NAT’L TOUR), this will be an evening to remember.
You’ll get to hear behind the scenes stories that are usually kept under wraps, musical theatre and pop/rock songs from some of Broadway’s most successful shows, and get to know what the journey to of scoring that dream role is like…or, almost like! Then it’s time to party with the performers and celebrate the launch of this innovative exciting company. There will be prizes, medleys, mash-ups, and surprises at this jam-packed evening in one of the best concert/party venues in New York City!
