The Vineyard Theater announces John Cullum: An Accidental Star, premiering on April 8 and available for streaming on demand through April 22. Two live watch party events will take place Thursday, April 8 at 7:00 pm EDT and Saturday, April 17 at 2:00 pm EDT.
Conceived by John Cullum and Jeff Berger, the 80-minute intimate evening of stories and songs spanning Cullum’s career is told and sung by the 91-year-old two-time Tony Award winner. Directed and filmed earlier this year by Lonny Price (110 in the Shade with Cullum) and Matt Cowart (associate director, 110 in the Shade), An Accidental Star written by David Thompson (The Scottsboro Boys with Cullum), music supervision by Georgia Stitt and music direction by Julie McBride.
An Accidental Star goes behind the scenes with Cullum—from his 1960 debut in Camelot and Tony Award-winning performances in Shenandoah and On the Twentieth Century, to his starring roles in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Urinetown and The Scottsboro Boys. Songs from the Golden Age of the American Musicals and never-before-heard stories of working with friends Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Goulet, Julie Andrews and more are featured in the performance.
Director of Photography is Carlos Cardona with costumes by Tracy Christensen and lighting by Megan Peti. Line producer is Adrian White.
