The musical, long known to have been in development, will feature a book written by the MacArthur “genius” grantee , music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and will be directed by the highly experienced Tony Award winner Rob Ashford. Choreography will be by Tanya Birl.Producers Hal Luftig, Craig Haffner and Sherry Wright and the Goodman have not announced casting for Chicago or Broadway and changes are likely. However, an invite-only industry reading took place in May with stars J. Harrison Ghee as Lady Chablis and well as Steven Pasquale as Jim Williams.
The show is scheduled to run June 25 to August 4, 2024, on the Albert mainstage. To make way for the project, the Goodman has postponed its previously announced summer 2024 production of the musical “Female Troubles,” subtitled “a period comedy about female reproductive rights,” until 2025.
