The world of entertainment is about to get a whole lot more fabulous with the highly anticipated second season of OUTtv's 'The Dressing Room'. This character-driven series, set to premiere on August 24th, has just revealed an exciting addition to its already impressive cast. None other than the legendary Eric McCormack, known for his iconic role in 'Will & Grace', will be gracing the show with his presence as a guest star. Joining him are Andrea Bang, a familiar face from 'Kim's Convenience', and Josh Ramsay, the frontman of the band Marianas Trench.
What makes this news particularly fascinating is the impact it will have on the show's narrative. 'The Dressing Room' follows the behind-the-scenes drama of a fictional touring musical, 'Balloon Boy'. With McCormack's involvement, we can expect an even more captivating exploration of the challenges and triumphs faced by cast and crew alike. From backstage meltdowns to romantic entanglements, this season promises to deliver a Broadway-sized experience right into our living rooms.
In my opinion, the show's creators, Paul Almeida and Makayla Moore, have truly hit the jackpot with this casting choice. Their joint statement reflects the excitement and gratitude they feel towards having McCormack on board. It's a testament to the power of collaboration and the support within the theatre community.
But McCormack isn't the only notable addition. The series will also feature a cameo from Laura Bell Bundy, the original Elle in Broadway's 'Legally Blonde'. Additionally, Katie Findlay, Eduard Witzke, and the talented Robbins sisters, Jacqueline and Joyce, will make guest appearances.
As we delve deeper into the show's production, it's worth noting that the second season was shot in Vancouver over a span of 10 days. A talented crew, including directors Nat Boltt, Jennifer Copping, Milo Shandel, and Josh Epstein, along with cinematographer Saarthak Taneja, brought this project to life.
'The Dressing Room' is a true labour of love, written by Kelli Ogmundson, Epstein, and Almeida, with Almeida also serving as an executive producer alongside Moore.
So, mark your calendars for August 24th, as OUTtv's 'The Dressing Room' promises to deliver a season filled with drama, laughter, and a whole lot of talent. Personally, I can't wait to see how these new additions will spice up the already captivating world of 'Balloon Boy' and its dedicated crew.
