Casting for the upcoming City Center Encores! presentation of the 1950s musical Call Me Madam has been finalized! Joining the cast is Darrell Hammond (Saturday Night Live) as Grand Duke Otto, Jason Gotay (Bring It On) as Kenneth Gibson and YouTube star Randy Rainbow as Sebastian Sebastian.
Previously announced cast members include Carmen Cusack as Ambassador Sally Adams, Carol Kane as Grand Dutchess Sophie, Brad Oscar as Senator Gallagher, Lauren Worsham as Princess Maria, Michael Benjamin Washington as Pemberton Maxwell, Ben Davis as Cosmo Constantine, Adam Heller as Congressman Wilkins and Stanley Wayne Mathis as Senator Brockbank.
The production runs from February 6 through 10. According to Call Me Madam's website, this is the second time in Encores! history that they are reviving one of their own revivals. Call Me Madam was the highlight of the second season of Encores! and was the show that put the series on the map. Irving Berlin wrote the musical score to accompany the book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. Call Me Madam centers around an ambassador to the fictional European nation of Lichtenberg and features songs such as “It’s a Lovely Day Today" and “You’re Just in Love.”
