This revival will be produced by Paul Elliott, Michael Harrison and David Mirvish. Mirvish was part of a team that announced plans for a Broadway revival in 2014 that would commence a tryout in Toronto. The production was postponed in May of that year due to a lack of a suitable Broadway theatre as a landing place.
Both that production and the one coming to the Ahmanson will be directed by Thom Southerland, based on the acclaimed chamber production of the musical that played London's Southwark Playhouse in 2013.
