Dates, casting and additional creative team will be announced shortly. Performances will play Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre on West 43rd Street.
According to Second Stage, "The new musical comedy Nobody Loves You follows a philosophy grad student who auditions for — and surprisingly finds himself cast on — a reality TV dating show, all in an attempt to win back his ex-girlfriend. But when an unexpected on-set love connection threatens to ruin his plan, manufactured drama collides with real emotion in this original new musical."
Playbill previously reported about an upcoming Second Stage workshop of the show. Nobody Loves You had its world premiere at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre in summer 2012.
