From the book and lyrics writer’s website:

So…the reading of PLAGUED happened Monday night, and boy howdy, was I proud. The show is in great shape- there’s still work to be done, but it’s a giant leap from where we were back in July. We had a great turn out, and the cast gave it all they had, and now we proceed onwards.

Suzanne Fiore, she is simply divine and we all knew we were lucky to witness her performances. This girl is a STAR, truly.

Fiore’s talent and confidence are impressive. She’s comfortable in front of an audience and makes eye contact easily and with true interest. Vocally, she possesses equal parts k.d. lang and Eden Espinosa though her sound is distinctively her own. For a minute there, I felt like I was watching a young Nancy LaMott which is the ultimate complement I can ever give anyone. ”

(below is an excerpt form RSO’s website)

Pace University in New York City has selected the brand new, RSO-scored Darling to receive a fully produced reading in January 2009.

Darling features a book by award-winning playwright B. T. Ryback (winner of the 2007 Tennessee Williams One-Act Festival) and music and lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver. The musical follows upper crust teenager Ursula Morgan in 1929 Boston as society boils in the weeks before the Crash. Neglected by her excessive, self-absorbed parents, Ursula encounters Peter, a charming rent-boy of uncertain age, on the run from the Captain of Police who pursues him for a crime he may or may not have committed. When Ursula is offered the chance to run away with Peter she takes it, and finds herself swept into a seedy underground of booze, boys, and jazz—and in love.

Performances will take place at the Pace University Schaeberle Theater on the 10th Floor of 41 Park Row from January 20-25. The reading will be directed by Amy Rogers, music directed by Robert Meffe, and will feature student performers. The Pace reading will be the world premiere presentation of the musical.

A contemporary love story, Green Eyes tracks the rise and fall of a relationship over time through folk-rock music and modern dance. The new musical utilizes two singers, two dancers, and a five-piece orchestra to fuse both song and dance, shedding new light on the traditional “boy meets girl” story.

Diana Glazer, in association with Steve Tate and Leopold Group, are proud to present Green Eyes as part of the 11th Annual New York International Fringe Festival and will be showing for five dates beginning August 16, 2008.

Directed by Jessica Redish** who recently created the musical staging for the Lortel Award-winning Adding Machine, green eyes has been described by North Shore Chicago Magazine as “a multi-media musical for the John Mayer generation.”
