The show will run at London’s Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre beginning on November 28. The reimagined production will be directed and choreographed by Olivier Award nominee Matt Cole. "This site-specific version of the show provides an exciting opportunity to present the piece in a non-traditional format," Cole said. "Set in the round, the audience will be thrust into turn-of-the-century New York, where the action and choreography will weave its way in and out of the audience." Casting will be announced later.
