Conceived by Steven Scott Smith with musical direction by Nathan Martin, the limited engagement will be directed by Maltby, Jr. Emily Maltby will re-create the original choreography of Kurt Stamm.

The four-person cast will comprise Olivier Award nominees Graham Bickley, Sophie-Louise Dann and Issy van Randwyck with Arvid Larsen.

Closer Than Ever is described as an "intimate musical about love, friendship, security, happiness — and holding onto those essentials in a world that pulls us in a hundred directions at once." Read the previous Playbill.com feature about Maltby and Shire's work on Closer Than Ever.
