Tony Award winner Jane Krakowski — who played the blond, slinky seductress Carla in Nine — is a possibility to star, according to the actress' agency. The play interweaves three stories (set in 1919, 1959 and 1999) that all involve the legendary filmmaker who had an affinity for blondes. The 1999 plotline follows a lecturer and his student uncovering lost Hitchcock footage from an unknown 1919 film in a Greek villa, while the 1959 story finds Hitchcock himself as a character, working with Janet Leigh's body double on the movie "Psycho."

Last year's Best Featured Actress in a musical Krakowski won for her turn in the Tony-winning revival of Nine. The actress, known for her TV work on "Ally McBeal," was also previously nominated for Grand Hotel. She is set to star in the upcoming NBC television musical "A Christmas Carol" as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Bond girl Rosamund Pike ("Die Another Day") starred in the London stagings as The Blonde with William Hootkins as Alfred Hitchcock. David Haig, Fiona Glascott and Owen McDonnell also starred. Johnson directed his own work with designs by William Dudley (also video projections), lighting by Simon Corder and sound by Ian Dickinson.

Johnson was the stage adapter/director of The Graduate. He has written and directed the plays Dead Funny and Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick. Other plays include Hysteria, Imagine Drowning, Cries from the Mammal House, Unsuitable for Adults and Insignificance. His West End directing credits include The Memory of Water, Elton John's Glasses, Entertaining Mr. Sloane and the world premiere of Philip Ridley's Sparkleshark.
