Lincoln Center Theater has announced casting for the new musical, A Minister’s Wife, which will begin previews on April 7 at Lincoln Center Theatre’s Mitzi Newhouse Theater, in anticipation of an official opening on May 8. Michael Halberstam will direct the production.

With music by Joshua Schmidt, lyrics by Jan Levy, and a book by Austin Pendleton, the show, based on George Bernard Shaw’s Candida, examines how the simmering undercurrents of a seemingly ordinary marriage are revealed when a young poet enters the lives of a minister and his wife.

The company will feature Liz Baltes, Kate Fry, Drew Gehling, Marc Kudisch, and Bobby Steggert.

The creative team will include Allen Moyer (scenic design), David Zinn (costume design), Keith Parham (lighting design), and Scott Stauffer (sound design). Composer Schmidt will provide orchestrations for the musical, which will have musical direction by Richard Carsey and will be conducted by Tim Splain.
