⭐ OCTET – DIRECTED BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA – CAST ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐
Lin-Manuel Miranda has announced the cast for his forthcoming musical film adaptation of Dave Malloy’s OCTET.
The cast will star Amanda Seyfried as Jessica, Rachel Zegler as Velma, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Paula, Phillipa Soo as Karly, Gaten Matarazzo as Toby, Jonathan Groff as Henry, Tramell Tillman as Marvin, and Paul-Jordan Jansen as Ed.
Eight internet-obsessed people meet in a church basement and lock their phones in a box. This groundbreaking musical from Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812) follows an octet of people struggling with digital dependency, charting their compulsions using only the analog vibrancy of their own voices. With witty lyrics, shimmering harmonies, and virtuosic solos, OCTET sings of connection, redemption, hope—and how we can be truly present with each other.
Lin-Manuel Miranda is set to direct, writer & composer Dave Malloy will be adapting his own book of a musical for the big screen and will also serve as executive producer.
THIS IS CRAZY! ! !
