I know this looks a bit scandalous, right? But our own Little Willow is carrying a lead role! Click here for the full details. It is a world premiere at the Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood beginning with a preview on the 14th of January. Here's the trailer:



From Michael Butler, the original producer of Hair on Broadway, Pope Joan is the story of a young woman's elevation to the papacy. Here is a controversial story with a cast of 25 and six-piece orchestra.

From Playbill.com is a partial cast list:

The cast includes Whitney Avalon (Joan), Douglas Barry (Louis II), Cristina Dohmen (Martine), Suzanne Nichols (Lucretia), Bryce Blue (Lucius), Allie Costa (Young Joan), Fernando Orozco, Jr. (Anastasius) and Anthony Gruppuso (Nicholas).
