Playhouse on Park has announced the complete cast and creative team for its upcoming season finale production of the musical The Wild Party. The production is based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March and features a jazz score composed by Andrew Lippa. Set during the Prohibition Era, the story focuses on themes involving love, betrayal, and the consequences of excess.

Co-founder and co-artistic director Sean Harris will direct the musical, marking his final directorial credit before transitioning into the role of artistic advisor for the organization. Harris previously served as co-artistic director for 17 seasons, directing past regional productions including Cabaret, Metamorphoses, and Angels in America. The creative team also features co-artistic director Darlene Zoller as choreographer and Colin Britt as music director.

The cast features Mollie Downes in the role of Queenie, Trevor Bunce as Burrs, Maddi Bowman as Kate, and Cory Simmons as Black. Additional featured performers include Caleb Barton, Lily Bucko, Kathleen Cameron, Sophia Cantin, Joseph Rafael Davila, Kenneth Galm, Kate Glennon, Gavin Leahy, Elijah Martinez, and Julia Solecki. Several cast members hold prior performance credits with national touring companies, Broadway international tours, and regional Connecticut venues.
