Oh Joy! Oh Rapture!

It has been officially announced that Sherie Rene Scott's show, Everyday Rapture, which had been previously speculated to replace a revival of Terrence McNally's Lips Together, Teeth Apart, will now replace that show as the last entry in the Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway Season.  The show will play at the American Airlines Theatre in a limited engagement from April 9th through July 11th, with an opening night set for April 29th.  The show, written by Dick and Scott Scanlan, will be directed by Michael Mayer.

The supporting cast of the show will include Eamon Foley, Lindsay Menendez, and Betsy Wolfe.  An already recorded cast album is expected to be released in May.

Ms. Scott is best known for her portrayals of Ursula in The Little Mermaid, Cathy in The Last Five Years, Amneris in Aida, and her Tony nominated performance as Christine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Might There Be Some Rapture At the Roundabout?

Rumors are floating around that Sherie Rene Scott may be saving the Roundabout.  Since the Roundabout production of Lips Together, Teeth Apart was cancelled earlier this week, the Roundabout has been looking for another show to fill in that show's slot.  One of the possibilities is Ms. Scott's semi-autobiographical show Everyday Rapture.  The show, which originated off-Broadway at Second Stage last spring, follows Ms. Scott (or a character at least partially based on her) from her Mennonite days through her time in New York.
