WE DID IT!!! Thank you to our incredible cast and crew—a 29 Hour Reading is no easy task, and it went beautifully! The future is bright!
Bet you didn’t think you’d learn so much!!
Look at these fantastic individuals!
And that's the cast! Stay tuned as we begin rehearsals!
Finally, we’re thrilled to announce that Joy Woods will be taking on the role of Grete! Woods recently made her Broadway debut as “Catherine Parr” in SIX! Some of her other credits include: “Chiffon” in the current revival of Little Shop of Horrors, and a member of the ensemble of Mack and Mabel (Encores!) and Ratatouille: The Tik Tok Musical. Welcome to the Samsa Family!
We’re pleased to announce that Mother will be played by the very talented, Pearl Sun! Sun has had a remarkable history on the Broadway stage with roles in “Come From Away,” “If/Then,” and “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” We’re so excited to see her join the Samsa family!
Dearest Father…We’re thrilled to announce you will be played by none other than Paul Whitty! Paul Whitty is an incredible talent, and has been in the original cast of several Broadway musicals, including: "Gettin’ the Band Back Together", "Amélie", and "Once". He also played “Oz” in the hit musical "Come From Away". We’re psyched to have him join the Samsa Family!
Hang on to your hats Kafka fans! Meet our incredibly talented Music Director, Mona Seyed-Bolorforosh! Some of her recent credits include “Mean Girls on Broadway” (Sub, Broadway), “Heather Christian’s Oratorio for All Living Things” (Pianist, Off-Broadway), “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella” (Keys, National Tour), and Heartbeat Opera (Pianist, Assistant Music Director). Welcome aboard Mona!
Franz Kafka/Gregor Samsa is the titular character of our show. He acts as a sort of guide as the audience navigates his past, present, and the impact of his stories. Heart wrenching and hilarious, we’re pleased to announce that Franz/Gregor will be played by Will Connolly! Connolly’s history on stage is an exciting one, from making his broadway debut in the Tony-award-winning musical “Once,” playing the original Jeremy in “Be More Chill,” to co-writing/composing the musical “Fly By Night” for which he received a Drama Desk nomination. Welcome to the Kafka family!
Meet Alan Muraoka, our fearless director! You may know him from his 21 seasons on Sesame Street, or his impressive and expansive history on Broadway! This includes roles in "Aladdin", the revival of "Pacific Overtures", "Mail", "Sh**un, the Musical", "My Favorite Year", "The King and I", and, finally, "Miss Saigon", in which Muraoka had the lead role of “Engineer!”
We’re “buggin' out” about this two time Emmy nominee joining our team!
We’re blown away by the opportunities coming our way! Kafka is heading back to the Big Apple where we’ll be having a developmental work session and industry presentation with some of New York’s best and brightest. Tell Gregor to break one of his many legs!
Keep checking back as we introduce some of the new additions to our team!
Stay tuned for updates about our cast and crew!!
Kafka is back and buggier than ever! We’re stoked to see what’s in store for us with our general management firm: ShowTown Theatricals! Founded by Nathan Gehan, ShowTown manages many productions on and off Broadway, and now “Kafka’s Metamorphosis: the Musical!” is their latest! We can’t wait to tell you what’s happening next!
Sound check is complete!

"What would you do if you woke up one morning and discovered that during the night you had turned into a large, ugly insect, replete with a hard shell and creepy multiple legs? Would you immediately launch into a series of challenging calisthenics, or how about singing a medley of Broadway tunes?"

Kafka's Metamorphosis: The Musical

Gregor Samsa awoke one morning to find that he'd caught the musical theatre bug! Kafka's mystifying and mesmerizing novella comes to hilarious and haunting musical live onstage at this year's fringe from the company behind last year's award-nominated "Orson Welles/Shylock." Tap your toes and sing along with the retelling that Kafka never knew he always wanted."
