Sarasota's Asolo Repertory Theatre has found the jury for their previously announced world premiere of Theater Latté Da's Twelve Angry Men: A New Musical. Running May 8 through June 9 at the FSU Center for Performing Arts, the production will officially open May 11.

Featuring a book by David Simpatico and music and lyrics by Michael Holland, Twelve Angry Men: A New Musical is based on the play by Reginald Rose.

The premiere production will star Sasha Andreev, Curtis Bannister, Charlie Clark, James Michael Detmar, Matthew Griffin, Cooper Grodin, Brian Kim McCormick, Riley McNutt, Matt Riehle, Marc Cedrick Smith, Alexander Swift, and Adán Varela, and be directed by Asolo's Producing Artistic Director Peter Rothstein.

Utilizing a jazz-infused score, 12 men debate the fate of a young defendant charged with murdering his father. Said Rothstein, “Twelve Angry Men is an important work in the history of American drama, and I believe this musical adaptation speaks profoundly to this moment in our nation. It is a profound exploration of this country's potential to unite, to exercise justice, and to instigate systemic change.”
