Esparza will play a con-man preacher who sets up shop in a small Kansas town and meets a pretty waitress (Golden Globe nominee Brooke Shields) and her son. The musical, featuring a score by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater and a libretto by Janus Cercone and Slater, is based on the 1992 film starring Steve Martin, Lolita Davidovitch and Debra Winger. Directed by Tony winner Rob Ashford, it will premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre Sept. 5-Oct. 17.
