Tony Award-winner John Doyle helms the production, which will star Tony Award nominees Judy Kuhn (Chess) and Melissa Errico (Amour).

While away with his army regiment, he becomes the object of affection of Fosca, an unattractive and sickly older woman (Kuhn).
Silverman’s stage credits include The Phantom of the Opera, Cry-Baby, West Side Story, and Mamma Mia!.
