The musical, written by Scott Brown and Anthony King, began its life in the comedy world, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, where King was the artistic director, and then was further developed at the New York Musical Festival.
The director will be Alex Timbers, who also directed the 2006 Off Broadway production; Timbers later won a Tony Award for directing “Moulin Rouge!,” and he has also worked in comedy, including as the director of “Oh, Hello” on Broadway.
“I love this show, and it gets seen and performed all over the world, but isn’t really known in New York,” Timbers said.
“Broadway is rebounding, and it is due for an even bigger rebound,” Gad said.
And more than anything, I think that people miss laughing.”
