McKechnie & Struthers Lead Other Broadway Veterans in 40th Anniversary Reagle Players Season

WALTHAM, MA: Reagle Players located in Waltham, MA announces its 40th anniversary summer season and the guest artists making appearances.   Donna McKechnie, Broadway’s Tony winning Cassie in the original staging of A Chorus Line, stars in The Reagle Players’ upcoming 40th season as does Sally Struthers, the two time Emmy winner for the classic sitcom All in the Family...

The Massachusetts venue’s June 12-21 offering casts Eric Kunze (Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, Damn Yankees) in the title role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Kunze, who recently toured with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Whistle Down The Wind, shares the stage with Boston’s five time American Idol performer Ayla Brown as The Narrator.

Following the popular Biblical romp, Sally Struthers (The Odd Couple, Grease) stars July 10 – 19 in Annie, as the orphan-weary Miss Hannigan. Struthers is joined by Robert Fitch, a veteran of fourteen Broadway shows. Fitch (Annie, Will Rogers Follies), who began his Broadway career with the early Bock-Harnick musical Tenderloin, directs Annie. He also recreates his Tony nominated turn as the original Rooster in Annie as a special salute to the company’s 40th celebration. Choreography is supervised by Mary Jane Houdina (Follies, Annie). Sarah Pfisterer (Show Boat, Phantom of the Opera) will be seen as Grace Farrell. Pfisterer played the Smith family matriarch in the Irish Rep’s recent mounting of Meet Me in St. Louis

Donna McKechnie (A Chorus Line, Promises, Promises, Company) will be starring as Lucille in No, No, Nanette, August 7-16. McKechnie’s talents will be featured in Too Many Rings Around Rosie and the syncopated You Can Dance With Any Girl - as well as other production numbers. Artistic Director/Producer Robert Eagle directs and Assistant Producer, Eileen Grace (The Will Rogers Follies), choreographs the splashy 20’s musical.
