Dave Gibbs (Rock of Ages) will serve as music supervisor for the production. The original team is also bringing the show back to its original Off-Broadway theatre, New World Stages, for a 10th anniversary run beginning June 19.
Casting has yet to be announced. The production will be mounted by Matthew Weaver, Hillary Janet Billig Rich, Stacey Sher, and Kerry Brown, in participation We Are Hear. Doug Deluca and Bill Bodnar will serve as executive producers.
