It Shoulda Been You announces further casting
Producers of the David Hyde Pierce-helmed new musical comedy It Shoulda Been You, which will open at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 14 April 2015, following previews from 17 March, have announced further casting details for the production.
Montego Glover, Josh Grisetti, Michael X. Martin, Anne L. Nathan, Nick Spangler and Chip Zien will all join the cast of the production, alongside Farah Alvin, Gina Farrell and Mitch Greenberg.
They will join the previously announced cast that includes Broadway veterans such as Tyne Daly, Tony winner Harriet Harris, Sierra Boggess, David Burtka, Lisa Howard and Edward Hibbert.
It Shoulda Been You marks the Broadway directorial debut of Tony and Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce and features book and lyrics by Brian Hargrove and music by Barbara Anselmi.
In It Shoulda Been You, "it's a culture clash for the ages when two families from wildly different backgrounds come together to celebrate a wedding. As if the union wasn't complicated enough, the bride's ex-boyfriend arrives, bringing the wedding to a screeching halt and throwing both families into hysterical chaos. Plots are hatched, promises broken, secrets exposed - and the bride's resourceful sister is left to turn an unmitigated disaster into happily ever after."
The creative team features choreography by Josh Rhodes, scenic design by Anna Louiza, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Ken Billington and sound design by Nevin Steinberg. Additional lyrics are by Jill Abramovitz, Carla Rose Fisher, Michael Cooper, Ernie Lijoi and Will Randall.
It Shoulda Been You is produced on Broadway by Daryl Roth, Scott Landis, Jane Bergère, Jayne Baron Sherman and John O'Boyle.
The musical had its world premiere at the George Street Musical in Brunswick, New Jersey, where it played from 4 October to 6 November 2011.
Tickets for the Broadway production went on sale on 10 December 2014.
