Among the most exciting developments in the production of Nine Lives: A Musical Adaptation is the inclusion of Tony Award-winning singer/actor Michael Cerveris, who not only sings the part of Joann on the album, but intends to play her on Broadway and is acting as one of the show’s producers. Michael opens doors in New York. On February 27, 2011, Michael, composer Paul Sanchez, and singers Debbie Davis and Arsene DeLay appeared onstage at Symphony Space to perform eight of the songs and discuss the project. (I was there to mumble about the book.) The video is below.
