Look for our return to New York
Off-Broadway in the fall of '07

PICTURES OF THE NEW YORK SEND OFF

Walmartopia, the box-office breaking musical comedy by Madisonians Catherine Capellaro and Andrew Rohn took to the road this summer, appearing as part of the New York Fringe Festival. The play was enthusiasically received, and as one of the festival favories, played the Fringe Encore Series in September. Plans are for Walmartopia, the Musical, to open off-Broadway in New York in the fall of next year. Stay tuned for news of the latest production of this hilarious and thought provoking story of Vicki Latrell, a single mom who speaks out about her company's working conditions and finds herself jettisoned into a future where Wal-Mart dominates the entire world.

FRINGE NEW YORK ENCORE SERIES

WALMARTOPIA has been selected as one of only 16 shows to return to New York for the Fringe Encore Series. The much acclaimed cast will perfrom six shows at the 14th Street YMCA, from September 15 through September 23, for those New Yorkers who missed the show nytheatre.com called "not to be missed...” 

Anna Marquardt won the 2006 Outstanding Actor Award for her performance at New York International Fringe Festival.

"Rarely does a show with this much pre-Fringe hype live up to the expectations, but Walmartopia triumphs."

"It's been a long time since unbridled detestation was this much fun."

MADISON, WI-  After a phenomenal sold-out run at the Bartell Theater and an encore production at the Overture Center's historic Capitol Theater, Walmartopia is taking the show to New York City.

The husband and wife creative team, Capellaro and Rohn, are also the authors of Temp Slave, the Musical, which enjoyed five Madison productions, a tour to San Francisco and Berkeley, and an Off-Broadway reading.

Mercury Players Theater first produced Walmartopia as a one-act play in 2004 and as a full-length musical in December and January.

StageQ produced our encore performance at
the Overture Center's Capitol Theater.


"We are thrilled to be able to offer New York a taste of Walmartopia, says Capellaro. "Our success in Madison proves that audiences are hungry for politically savvy entertainment that pokes fun at the powers that be. We will proudly represent Wisconsin's progressive tradition by presenting our locally grown musical for an international audience." 

The New York International Fringe Festival is in its 10th year and drew 70,000 people to downtown Manhattan last year.

After a ONE NIGHT ONLY performance at Madison's Barrymore Theater on August 12, the Walmartopians will travel by bus to New York, August 13-23.
