Maddie: A New Musical

Nearly three decades after its brief orginal run in the West End, this British musical about the American film industry gets a second life—not unlike its main character, a would-be starlet of the silent-film era who dies en route to a screen test but returns as a ghost half a century later to possess the woman who now inhabits her old apartment. Stephen Keeling wrote the music; Shaun McKenna wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the book with Steven Dexter. Andrew Winans directs and choreographs this modest production, which stars Kelly Maur in the title role.
