Directed and choreographed by three-time Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes, The Pajama Game, Wonderful Town), the show is scheduled to open on Broadway this April.

The show centers on Billie Bendix (O’Hara), a tough-as-nails bootlegger who meets up with wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter (Broderick) on the weekend of his wedding.  With a book by two-time Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro (Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score for Memphis) and featuring songs from George and Ira Gershwin, the musical “is a new take on a classic 1920’s musical farce.”

“I am over the moon to get to work with the brilliant Kelli O’Hara again.  Kelli and Matthew starring together in a romantic screwball comedy and singing Gershwin songs is going to be a total blast!” said Kathleen Marshall.
