The celebrated singing actress will play Coco Chanel in the musical Coco, which will play San Francisco's 42nd Street Moon Theatre April 24-May 11, 2008. The 1969 musical features book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner with music by André Previn. Song titles include "Always Mademoiselle," "The World Belongs to the Young," "When Your Lover Says Goodbye," "Fiasco" and "Coco."

Coco, according to 42nd Street Moon, is described as such: "Set in the early 1950s, when Chanel was considered a has-been, Lerner and Previn's musical memory play focuses on the Divine Coco's amazing comeback — as well as her battles with a jealous rival designer and the boyfriend of her protégé."

Katharine Hepburn played Coco Chanel in the musical's Broadway debut at the Mark Hellinger Theatre. Directed by Michael Benthall, Coco opened at the Hellinger Dec. 18, 1969, and played 329 regular performances before closing Oct. 3, 1970. The cast also featured René Auberjonois, who won a Tony for his performance as Sebastian Baye.

Andrea Marcovicci starred on Broadway in the short-lived musical Ambassador and in Frank D. Gilroy's Any Given Day. Her screen credits include roles in "The Front," "Someone to Love," "Jack the Bear," "Who Is Henry Jaglom?," "The Water Engine" and "Trapper John, M.D." It has been the cabaret stage, however, where she has received the most acclaim. The singer-actress has performed at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall and in concert halls throughout the world. Her solo albums are numerous and include "Marcovicci Loves Movies," "What Is Love?," "Just Kern," "December Songs," "New Words," "Live from London" and "Some Other Time."
