Directed by Igor Goldin, the production will begin performances Oct. 20 and will play a limited engagement through Nov. 4. The cast will boast Broadway's Nancy Anderson (Wonderful Town, A Class Act) and Jeffry Denman (The Producers, How to Succeed…).

Yank takes its title from the World War II publication Yank Magazine. The musical, which was penned by brothers David and Joseph Zellnik, is described as such: "Yank! tells the story of a war reporter named Stu and an army private named Mitch, who fall in love and struggle to survive in a time and place where the odds are stacked against them. Intelligent and impassioned, suffused with songs in swing, big band and boogie-woogie styles, the show explores the stories that don't get told in wartime, and how WWII became a great catalyst in bringing gay men and women together."

Yank! was previously seen as apart of the 2005 New York Musical Theatre Festival.

The creative team for the upcoming production includes Daniel Feyer (musical director), Wayne Yeager (technical director/scenic carpenter), Ray Klausen (scenic consultant), Ken Lapham (lighting designer) and Josh Clayton (orchestrator).
