Julia Knitel Performs "A Stranger" From "Dead Outlaw"

“I fell in love with the piece before I even walked into the room,” Julia Knitel recalls of her first encounter with Dead Outlaw, now running on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre. “I read the script, heard ‘A Stranger,’ and thought—if someone else gets to do this, I’ll be bereft.” Thankfully, she didn’t have to find out. Knitel landed the role of Maggie Johnson, as well as a host of other side characters, in David Yazbek, Eric Della Penna, and Itamar Moses’ hauntingly human folk musical. She developed her roles from its humble start Off-Broadway through its eagerly anticipated Broadway transfer, culminating in her Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.
