Dave Solomon directs the limited engagement, which officially opens Jan. 30 following previews that begin Jan. 21 at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre in Hollywood.
The work "is a new American play set in 1969 about a tribe of nonconformist friends, who want nothing more than to make music, do drugs and make love. When they suddenly find that they must face a lottery, that will send at least one of them to Vietnam, it propels them to take daring and dangerous steps to dodge the draft."
Included in the company are Bleu ("High School Musical"), Eric Nelsen (2015 Emmy winner for "The Bay Series"), Hunton (Elphaba on North American Wicked tour), Gertner (Olivier nominee for The Book Of Mormon), Asher Grodman ("As the World Turns") and Talisa Friedman (The Last Goodbye). Standbys are Derek Carley (Flashdance) and Jenna Carley ("Twenty-Five Five").
