With Robert Agis as Sheriff Green, Tom Ammirato as Father Morse, Annie Fitz as Bella Rose, Michelle Foard as Susanna/Sister Mary Jo, Anthony Malchar as Johnny Blood and Steve Taylor as The Governor

Meet the Cast

When the dangerously handsome Johnny Blood’s life is on the line, he must put his fate into the hands of a colorful cast of characters including a mysterious sheriff, an eccentric priest, a narcissistic governor, a saloon girl gone good, and a nun out of the habit. Together, they face uncharted territory as laws are broken and hearts are won.

This witty and wild new musical comedy takes the Bard’s Measure for Measure and shakes things up with a toe tappin’ score by award-winning composer David Friedman. Featuring a feisty book and lyrics by two-time Tony nominee Peter Kellogg.
