A new musical revue, The Water Coolers, set in the world of 9-to-5ers, cubicles and Xerox machines, opens at Dillons in midtown Manhattan Oct. 14 following previews since Sept. 27.

Such major Broadway producers as Steven Baruch, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, Tom Viertel and Rodger Hess, among others, are behind the work, which sounds like it might want to do to the corporate world what I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change does to romance — make affectionate fun of it and lure in the thousands of white-collar workers who are the target audience.

Written by Thomas Michael Allen (Tony N' Tina's Wedding), Joe Allen, Marya Grandy and E. Andrew Sensenig, the show features a cast of five exploring everyday life in the corporate world. The production, directed by William Wesbrooks, is told by way of sketch comedy, original music and revised old songs. Songs include "Panic Monday" (about worries about last Friday's happy hour), "I Bought a Palm" (all about palm pilots) and "In Windows 2525" (all about technology).

The cast of The Water Coolers features Peter Brown, Marya Grandy, Adam Mastrelli, Kurt Robbins and Elena Shaddow.

The design team includes Michael Schweikardt (sets), Jeffrey Johnson-Doherty (costumes) and John-Paul Szczepanski (lights). Musical direction is by Michael Lavine, and choreography is by Timothy Albrecht. The Water Coolers is presented by Steven Baruch, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, Tom Viertel, Pete Herber, Ross Meyerson, Ken Gentry and Rodger Hess.
