According to Playbill, Kathy Najimy will direct and the show will star Mary Birdsong, Diana DeGarmo, Tom Lowe and Tressa Thomas.
Did anybody catch this off Broadway years ago? I'm curious about it but have never seen it.

Bacharach and David's many hits include "Don't Make Me Over," "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "Walk On By," "Message to Michael," "Trains and Boats and Planes," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Alfie," "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," "What's New Pussycat," "Wives and Lovers," "Always Something there to Remind Me," "Promises, Promises," and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," all of which are heard in the show.

Most of these songs have been major hits for Dionne Warwick and this show, even though it is a limited engagement, is an excellent opportunity for Diana to show off her vocal prowess. I have not seen the show, but by knowing the music, I’m sure, with Kathy Najimy directing, it will be a very enjoyable production.

I heard about this show a few years ago and would have loved to see it.I'm an admirer of Bacherach and David and the many songs penned for and sung by Dionne Warwick. Should be a musical treat with a great cast.Has anybody actually seen the show and can give us a brief story outline or anything?????
