New York Theatre Workshop has found full casting for its upcoming run of Colman Domingo and Patricia McGregor's Lights Out: Nat "King" Cole, a play with music about the legendary jazz artist. Performances are set to begin April 30 ahead of a May 19 opening, and the limited run will continue through June 15. McGregor is directing.

Joining the previously announced Dulé Hill (The West Wing) as Cole and Daniel J. Watts (Hamilton) as Sammy Davis, Jr. will be Krystal Joy Brown (Merrily We Roll Along), Kathy Fitzgerald (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Christopher Ryan Grant (The Ballad of Johnny and June), Ruby Lewis (Paramour), Elliott Mattox (Tammy Faye), Kenita Miller (for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf), Mekhi Richardson, and Walter Russell III (MJ The Musical). Casting is by Claire Yensen.

The play takes place on the final night of Nat King Cole's variety show and features the crooner's signature songs including “Nature Boy,” “It’s a Good Day,” and “Smile." The music will be supervised, orchestrated, and arranged by John McDaniel.

Also newly announced is the project's creative team. The production will feature choreography by Edgar Godineaux, tap choreography by Jared Grimes, music direction by Lafayette Harris, scenic design by Clint Ramos, costume design by Katie O'Neill, lighting design by Stacey Derosier, sound design by Alex Hawthorn and Drew Levy, video design by David Bengali, and wig design by Nikiya Mathis. Norman Anthony Small will serve as stage manager.

Lights Out was originally produced at People’s Light in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and later played Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse. This upcoming New York engagement hints at bigger aspirations for the show. Domingo has already announced that he is adapting the play into a film, where he will star as Cole.
