Christiani Pitts to Star in New Netflix Film

Music Theatre and Broadway alum Christiani Pitts has been cast in an untitled romantic comedy set for Netflix.  The movie is being produced by singer-songwriter Alicia Keys.  According to Deadline, the movie is about an, “aspiring pop star Erica, who ends up as the entertainment at her ex-fiancé’s wedding after reluctantly taking a gig at a luxurious island resort while in the wake of a music-career meltdown. She tries to keep their past relationship a secret from his bride-to-be Beverly, but Erica rediscovers her feelings for her ex, Jason, despite his brother Caleb’s attempts to keep them from falling back in love. In this warm and funny romantic story that explores the bonds of love and family, the question soon becomes, will Erica sing at Beverly’s wedding — or her own?”

 Christiani made her Broadway debut as an ensemble member of A Bronx Tale: The Musical before taking over the lead.  She then went on to star as heroine Ann Darrow in the Broadway hit musical King Kong.  Tallahassee audiences may remember Christiani Pitts for her portrayal of Fraülein Sally Bowles in the School of Theatre’s 2014 production of Cabaret. While in Tallahassee, she was also featured in Company (Marta) and Ragtime (Sarah’s Friend).  Christiani graduated with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Theatre from the School of Theatre in 2015.
