more new doings --> David is currently in rehearsals for Mata Hari: The Musical written by Jay Berkow and Dave Ogrin. The beloved story of spys and sex is given the rock opera treatment and will feature David in the role of Cramer, the one of Mata Hari's conquests who ushers her into the world of espionage. Be sure to keep your ear to the ground on this show's journey to a New York run.

david helps breathe life into an old gem --> David recently reteamed with his friends at Muscials Tonight in SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS. An interesting depature from his previous roles at this New York institution such as Cocky in THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT THE SMELL OF THE CROWD and Guy Pennell in PARIS, his blustery cameo as Lt. Col. Grubbs was "suitably dour." It's always a great time rediscovering lesser known works with Mel Miller and Thomas Sabella-Mills and this Cole Porter opus was no exception.

bittersuite, the sequel --> David is currently developing the new musical by Elliot Weiss and Michael Champagne. BITTERSUITE: SONGS OF MORE EXPERIENCE, a play in song currently in development. is the 2012 answer to its beloved 1980's predecessor, BITTERSUITE: SONGS OF EXPERIENCE. Now the creators wax phiosophical on themes of maturity and middle age...and all the highs and lows they bring. David leverages his history with the writing team as actor AND director. It will enjoy its first public performance at Curtain Call's Musical Mondays at The Kweskin Theatre, in Stanford, Connecticut. You'll definitely want to get the scoop on this exciting new work.

sounds absurd because it is --> David is currently enjoying accolades for his latest stint, this time at the York Theatre Company in midtown Manhattan. David joins the stellar cast of the first New York revival of IONESCOPADE. Meet Ionesco's best-known characters brought to zany life in this "musical vaudeville." David portrays the Rhinosaurus, a scenery-chewing French chef and many other outlandish creatures this January and February. Learn more...

"David Edwards' French chef is pompously funny as he pretentiously outlines the boiling of an egg in "The Cooking Lesson..."
-- Jennifer Farrar, The Huffington Post

"I found “The Cooking Lesson” especially funny considering our current obsession with TV cooking shows. In it, the chef, played by David Edwards, goes into ridiculous detail to show how to boil water, submerge and then serve an egg. “The Leader” hits home hard as it shows citizens blindly adoring every move of a politico (as in petting a hedgehog and spitting) who turns out to have no head. “The Peace Conference” is a riotous example of uniformed generals arguing over who is more “obstinate."
-- Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up
