Joshua Harmon's acclaimed 2015 off-Broadway comedy Significant Other will move to Broadway in early 2017, The New York Times reports. Jeffrey Richards will produce the transfer, which is expected by begin performances in February at a Shubert-owned venue to be announced.

The play explores single life in the city. Jordan Berman would love to be in love, but until he finds Mr. Right, he spends his nights with his trio of close girlfriends. As their evenings turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan finds that supporting the ones you love can be just as impossible as finding love itself.

According to the Times, the production will be directed by Trip Cullman, who helmed the play's world-premiere run at Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura Pels Theatre. It is intended that the entire original cast, made up of Gideon Glick, Lindsay Mendez, Barbara Barrie, John Behlmann, Sas Goldberg, Carra Patterson, and Luke Smith, will remain with the show.

Additional information will be announced at a later date.
