The First Wives Club — A New Musical, according to press notes, "is a funny, moving and empowering story based on the smash-hit movie comedy and Olivia Goldsmith's bestselling novel. Former college friends reunite at middle-age and soon discover they share the same unhappy story - their ungrateful husbands careened into midlife by dumping them for younger women. After drowning their sorrows, they decide to put their long dormant talents to use, band together, and stylishly, systematically and hilariously get even with their exes!"

The design team includes scenic designer Peter J. Davison, costume designer Paul Tazewell, lighting designer Mark McCullough and sound designer Jon Weston. Choreographer is Lisa Stevens, music supervisor is Ron Melrose, conductor is John Gentry Tennyson, and orchestrator is Harold Wheeler.

The First Wives Club will be produced on Broadway by Paul Lambert and Jonas Neilson, with a theatre and dates to be announced.
