RYAN FOY...

While we're proud of all of the actors in our shows, we're particularly pleased to have Ryan Foy as a member of the cast of "The Seven Little Foys."  Ryan Foy is the great-grandson of Eddie Foy Sr., and the grandson of Irving Foy (of the famed original Seven Little Foys).  In our production, he plays the role of master showman George M. Cohan, who was a good friend of the Foys.  (Someday, as we get more productions at different theaters, we'd also like to see him take a crack at the role of Eddie Foy.)

And Ryan Foy--as "Back Stage" wrote--"is a natural."

"A truly magical surprise," declared The Village Voice, noting  that Ryan Foy "clearly has both the family bug and the family talent. He lights up the stage whenever he appears." 

And NYTheatre.com called having Ryan Foy play the role of George M. Cohan Cohan "a delicious bit of casting."
