The latest announcement marks new dates of production for the visual feast that was originally scheduled to begin performances Off-Broadway Oct. 8, following an engagement at New Jersey's Two River Theatre Company. A reason for the delay was not announced.

Garden of Earthly Delights will officially open Off-Broadway Nov. 19 and continue through Jan. 18, 2009.

Hunter, Gabby Malone, Jennifer Nugent, Matt Rivera (Movin' Out), Jenny Sandler, Isadora Wolfe. Musicians for the production include with Wayne Hankin (winds), Egil Rostad (cello) and Arthur Solari (music director, percussion).

"Its visceral theatricality presents an astonishing spectrum of human experience and emotion. Garden of Earthly Delights, with its eroticism and apocalyptic vision, is certainly as meaningful today as when Bosch created it," Clarke said in a statement.

Featuring a Drama Desk Award-winning score by Richard Peaslee, Garden has scenic and lighting design by Tony Award winner Christopher Akerlind, costume design by Tony nominee Jane Greenwood and aerial design provided by Flying By Foy. Tickets for Garden of Earthly Delights, ranging $40-$69.50, are available by phoning (212) 307-4100, or by visiting Ticketmaster. $25-$30 rush seats will be available at the box office for same-day tickets.
