BROADWAYWORLD
"Temple Theatre announces casting for the World Premiere production of Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust Road. This original production will be co-produced by Temple Theatre and Hoagy Carmichael's son, Hoagy. At the helm of this New Musical Journey of Hoagy Carmichael's classic music is Director, Susan H. Schulman and Choreographer, Michael Lichtefeld who collaborated on the Broadway productions of Little Women, The Sound of Music, The Secret Garden, and Sweeney Todd. Serving as Musical Director and Arranger is Broadway Musical Director and Arranger, Lawrence Yurman.
​
Using the music of Hoagy Carmichael with dance, seven actors tell the story of four decades in America: the early years of Ragtime, Jazz and Blues, the romance of New York in the 1930s, the tumultuous and uncertain years of World War II, and the post-war Golden Age of Hollywood. The story follows the musical evolution of Hoagy Carmichael and shows the progression in relationships from innocent to more complicated. This is the story of friendship thru four decades and of how we all grow up to find our own Stardust Road.
​
Featured in the cast are Jordan Barrow, Marckus Blair, Rachel Fairbanks, Jenny Mollet, Brianna Mooney, Jake Wood and Richard Riaz Yoder."

TEMPLE THEATRE COMPANY | APRIL & MAY 2019
“The talent was top-notch (as always), although I have to shout out to Brianna Mooney, a newcomer to Temple, who played Rizzo flawlessly. Although the character is tough and unyielding, Brianna brought a sensitivity to Rizzo that I have never seen before. Her song “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” was sung with so much emotion that it made you want to be her friend. It was perfect."
