The developmental production is produced by Gerald Goehrin and Michael F. Mitri, who will bring the musical to Broadway during the 2018–2019 season. The two picked up a Broadway option in January 2017, hot off the heels of multiple high-profile iterations of the musical, including a David Armstrong-helmed staging and a Manhattan Concert Productions presentation that featured Boggess.
Broadway dates, theatre, and casting will be announced at a later time.
