FINALLY SOME NEWS!!
The show will likely have "all songs completed by December, then put it up the beginning of next year to work out the kinks before we get to Broadway," stated Eddie Holland, who with Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland was previously announced to pen the score. The First Wives Club will mark the first time in over a decade that the legendary Motown songwriting team have worked together. Holland also stated that the show would not feature recycled song hits, but all new material.
Zambello is renowned for her work staging both theatre and opera. Past productions include Lady in the Dark on the West End, West Side Story at the Bregenz Festival, Les Tryoens at the Metropolitan Opera and a Disney Theme Park staging of Aladdin.
Holmes has also penned the book for the Broadway-bound Kander and Ebb musical Curtains. His many song hits include "The Pina Colada Song," and he has also penned novels such as Where the Truth Lies and Swing. He also created the TV series "Remember WENN."
