Patti LuPone, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Sherie Rene Scott have been cast in Lincoln Center Theater’s upcoming production of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, a musical adaptation of the 1988 film. It will play at Broadway’s Belasco Theatre, with previews starting on October 2 and then it will officially open on November 4.
The show takes place in late 20th-century Madrid and follows the lives of a group of women whose relationships lead to a turbulent 48 hours of love, passion, and chaos. The show features music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a book by Jeffrey Lane, who have previously worked together on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Congratulations to everyone involved! And if you can’t wait until October to hear Sherie or Patti, you can buy their solo albums on our website!

Reno Sweeney sings some of the most well-known songs from the show, so be sure to catch Foster’s performance when it opens. Meanwhile, you can listen to her any time on The Drowsy Chaperone or her solo album, Wish!
