The Kennedy Center's 2014--2015 Theater season features the world premiere musical production of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's Little Dancer, featuring direction and choreography by five-time Tony Award® winner Susan Stroman. Loosely based on the creation of one of Edgar Degas's most renowned sculptures, the musical features four-time Tony Award® winner Boyd Gaines as Degas, three-time Tony Award® nominee Rebecca Luker as Adult Marie von Goethem, and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Tiler Peck as Young Marie von Goethem. The Center also presents a new, pre-Broadway revival of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's Gigi, featuring a new adaptation by Heidi Thomas with direction by Eric Schaeffer. National touring productions include two Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice creations: Evita and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The national tour of the charming musical Once makes its Kennedy Center debut and ever-popular Broadway smash production of The Book of Mormon returns to the Kennedy Center for an extended run. The eighth season of Barbara Cook's Spotlight features cabaret-style performances by Will Chase, Malcolm Gets, LaChanze, Andrea McArdle, and Faith Prince. The annual Page-to-Stage New Play Festival, highlighting the work of dozens of local theater companies through a series of open rehearsals and readings of new works, is dedicated to the works in 2015's Women's Voices Theater Festival. The entirely free Page-to-Stage festival allows area companies to workshop their plays one year before they present them in fully staged world premiere productions. Shear Madness continues its run in the Theater Lab as it has for the past 26 years and several international theater companies take part in the Center's Iberian Suite: arts remix across continents festival. Please see the "Performances for Young Audiences" section of this release for information on five world premiere, Kennedy Center--commissioned theatrical productions in the 2014-2015 season.
