CCM alumnus John Riddle (BFA Musical Theatre, 2012) makes his Broadway debut in Kander and Ebb’s musical THE VISIT starring Chita Rivera and Roger Rees, opening April 23 at the Lyceum Theatre. John plays the younger self of Roger Rees.

From the official website:

When the world’s wealthiest woman returns home for the first time in decades, it’s the talk of the town. When that woman is portrayed by the legendary CHITA RIVERA, it’s Broadway history in the making.

This spring, the sensational two-time Tony® winner joins Tony Award® winner ROGER REES (Nicholas Nickleby) in a stunning tale of young love, timeless seduction, and sweet revenge.

Sure to become the season’s most delicious musical sensation, THE VISIT marks the historic final collaboration between the creators of the Tony award-winning masterwork Kiss of the Spider Woman. JOHN KANDER and FRED EBB, the Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning songwriters behind some of the most iconic musicals of the past 50 years, including Chicago and Cabaret, collaborate once more with four-time Tony Award winner TERRENCE McNALLY (Master Class, Ragtime, Kiss of the Spider Woman).

This incredible triumvirate, joined by celebrated choreographer GRACIELA DANIELE (Ragtime, The Rink) and director JOHN DOYLE, the Tony Award-winning visionary behind the revivals of Sweeney Todd and Company, now brings THE VISIT to Broadway.
