Provincetown, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/08/2014 --Having just completed their first international concert tour to promote their debut CD, and following their recent debut appearance on The Today Show, Well-Strung, The Singing String Quartet, have returned to Provincetown to debut their brand new production, “Popssical” at The Art House for a summer-long run from June 30th through September 20.

This past September Well-Strung performed in London for their first West End run at the Leicester Square Theatre and last month they performed at Vienna’s LifeBall on the same bill as Kesha. Well-Strung’s CD and tour information is available at www.Well-Strung.com.

Well-Strung have quickly gained national and international attention for their unique mash-up of string quartet and boy band. The foursome features classical musicians who sing, and in their all new show “Popssical” they put their own spin on the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, U2, Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Madonna and more. They are Edmund Bagnell (first violin), Christopher Marchant (second violin), Daniel Shevlin (cello) and Trevor Wadleigh (viola). The group was conceived by Christopher Marchant and Provincetown Art House producing artistic director Mark Cortale, after Cortale discovered Marchant playing violin on Commercial Street three summers ago. The new show “Popssical,” directed by Donna Drake, is written by the quartet and includes musical arrangements by David Levinson and videos by Randy Rainbow.

After Provincetown, Well-Strung will begin their second national tour that includes dates at The Rehoboth Beach Convention Center (Sept. 26), White Plains Performing Arts Center (Sept. 27), Le Petite Theatre in New Orleans (Oct. 11), The Neptune in Seattle (Nov. 8), Springfield Arts Council in Ohio (Nov. 22), The Nourse Theatre in San Francisco (Dec. 12 & 13), The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (Jan. 15, 2015), and the South Miami Dade Cultural Center (Jan. 17, 2015), The Palm in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (Jan. 18 - Feb. 7, 2015), the Dorothy Menker Theatre in Palo Hills, IL (March 7, 2015), with more dates to be announced soon.

The group made their debut with their show directed by Ms. Drake for a sold-out crowd at Joe’s Pub in May of 2012 before having an extended debut run that summer at The Art House in Provincetown. In the 2012-13 season they had two Off-Broadway runs at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater. The foursome’s debut album was released on Twist Records and was produced by Matt Farber (Founder of LOGO Network) and Mark Cortale. The music video for their “mash-up” of Mozart meets Kelly Clarkson debuted this past summer and has been featured in the Huffington Post, ABC Television, and many other media outlets.
