The News in Revue
http://www.newsinrevue.com
The News in Revue began as Nancy Holson's dream as a 1991 workshop in
Norwalk, Connecticut. Along with Steve Sasloe as Musical Director, she
recruited a local cast and mounted the first production of "The News."
The response was so enthusiastic that Phyllis, Mel and Nancy Holson decided
to form ADF Productions, Inc. and take the show to New York. It ran Off
Broadway for 120 performances during the 1992 election season. During
that time, it was well-reviewed by the New York press.
