Off-Broadway Musical 'Music City' Sets June Return at St. Luke's Theatre

The shift reflects a fast rebound after legal issues derailed a 42nd Street transfer in March.

Overview

  • Producers announced Thursday that Music City will resume at St. Luke's Theatre with previews starting June 15 and an opening night on June 24.
  • St. Luke's, operated by Out of the Box Theatrics, will be refit as The Wicked Tickle, an East Nashville barroom that puts the audience inside the show’s honky-tonk setting.
  • The new engagement follows the last-minute halt of a planned 42nd Street run in March after producers learned of legal issues tied to that venue.
  • Original cast members including Drew Bastian, Jonathan Judge-Russo, Julianne B. Merrill, Leenya Rideout, Andrew Rothenberg, Casey Shuler, and Stephen Michael Spencer will return.
  • The musical features songs by hit writer J. T. Harding, with a book by Peter Zinn and direction by BEDLAM artistic director Eric Tucker.
