Broadway Stars Sing Easter Mysteries

Elisabeth DeRosa (Mary Poppins) and Spencer Plachy (The Mystery of Edwin Drood) have joined the cast of Easter Mysteries, a contemporary oratorio being performed during this year’s holy week celebrations at St. Clement’s Episcopal Church in New York City.

They join Broadway veterans Sumayya Ali (Porgy and Bess, Ragtime), Cathryn Basile (The Little Mermaid, The 26th Putnam County Spelling Bee), Kathy Calahan (Mary Poppins), Trista Dollison (The Lion King), Jack Doyle (Young Frankenstein, The Music Man), Jason Veasey (The Lion King), Walter Willison (Grand Hotel, Pippin), and Matt Wolfe (Scandalous). The cast is rounded out with a strong representation of other New York musical theater productions including Diana Rose Becker, Max Chernin, Michael Deleget, Sarah Ellis, Julia Johanos, Katie Keyser, Paul Louis Lessard, Michael Marcotte, Mary Jo Mecca, Danny Rothman, Kyle Scatliffe, and Hansel Tan.

“These are gorgeous voices singing beautiful music,” enthused Musical Director Milton Granger (Mary Poppins). The Music, Book, and Lyrics are by John O’Boyle, who is currently a producer on two shows opening this season, Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike, and Matilda with the RSC.

Easter Mysteries will be directed by OBIE Award winning, Dan Wackerman. Performances will take place at the Theatre at St. Clement’s, 423 W. 46th St. March 27 at 7pm, March 29 at 7 pm and March 30 at 2 pm
