DARK LADY reading with music by CHER set for June 20

Executive Producer, Davenport Theatrical Enterprises, will present two private, by-invitation-only industry presentations of the new, Off-Broadway–bound jukebox musical DARK LADY, directed and choreographed by Sara Edwards, written by Mike Sheedy, with music by the Grammy Award-winning artist Cher, taking place this Friday, June 20.

Set against the untamed backdrop of the early 1900s American South, Queen is a young gypsy who travels in a wagon train with her fortune-teller mother, her preacher father, and her two best friends – a free-spirited blonde and a fiery, fiddle-playing redhead. After receiving an ominous and foreboding fortune of events to come, Queen is forced to make a devastating decision that alters the course of her future. But in the ruins of heartbreak, she discovers a love so fierce it just might mend her shattered soul – and awaken a joy she thought was gone forever. "Dark Lady" has general management by Evan Bernardin Productions; Orchestrations, arrangements, and music supervision are by Sonny Paladino; company management by Arysbells Figueredo; casting by Geoff Josselson Casting; sound design by Mike Tracey; and stage management by Danny Maly with Julia Bregy as Assistant Stage Manager.
