Head Over Heels, the new musical featuring the songs of the all-female rock band The Go-Go’s, began performances April 10 at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco. The pre-Broadway engagement officially opens April 18 for a limited run through May 6.

The Michael Mayer-helmed production will arrive on Broadway June 23 at the Hudson Theatre, where it will open July 26.

Featuring a book by Jeff Whitty adapted by James Magruder, Head Over Heels uses the music of the all-female rock band to tell an updated take on Philip Sidney’s Arcadia. Audiences can expect such Go-Go’s hits as “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” and the title tune, as well as original Go-Go’s member Belinda Carlisle’s singles “Mad About You” and “Heaven Is a Place on Earth.”
