The project, boasting songs by the composer of Falsettos, A New Brain and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, had a popular run at TheaterWorks in Hartford, CT, followed by a fall 2007 production Off-Broadway. The London staging will include some content changes. Rob Ruggiero conceived the revue but is not directing the London bow. A fifth actor has been added to the cast for the new version. Andrew McBean will direct a company that includes Les Miserables veteran Ruffelle (Broadway and London's Eponine of Les Miz), Louise Dearman (Sarah Brown of the West End's recent Guys and Dolls), Gareth Snook (of the Donmar's Company and Assassins), Simon Thomas (who'll appear in the West End's Marguerite in May) and Ian H. Watkins (of the pop group Steps). Matt Brind is musical director. Ben M. Rogers will design.

Opening is March 6 for a limited run to April 6.
