The bawdy musical comedy with song by Brooks and book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, based on the motion picture comedy, will close the Salt Lake City troupe's 2007-08 season in April 2008.
As previously reported on Playbill.com, the PTC season will launch with the world premiere of a revised version of the Lerner and Loewe musical Paint Your Wagon, in what's billed as pre-Broadway tryout. David Rambo penned the new libretto. Orchestrations are by Steve Orich (Jersey Boys).
Paint Your Wagon runs at Pioneer Theatre Company Sept. 28-Oct. 13, 2007.
Paint Your Wagon is presented in association with Christopher Allen, D. Constantine Conti and Larry Spellman.
