Directed by James Stenborg, the little-known Jerome Kern musical will play Off-Broadway's McGinn/Cazale Theatre through March 15. Thomas Sabella-Mills will choreograph. Casting will be announced shortly.
Kern collaborated with P.G. Wodehouse and Anne Caldwell on Cabaret Girl, which played London's West End for 450 performances in the 1920's but never came to Broadway.
In Cabaret Girl, press notes state, "the producers of The All-Night Follies - Gravvins & Gripps - act as cupids and try to bring together an ordinary working girl and her high-born 'intended' against the wishes of his family - and succeed." Songs include "You Want the Best Seats, We Have 'Em," "Whoop-De-Oodle-Do," "Dear Old London," "Shimmy with Me," "London, Dear Old London," "Dancing Time," "Chopin Ad-Lib," "Nerves" and "Looking All Over for You."
