Written by Bay Area playwright R.C. Staab, with music and lyrics by Tony nominee Keith Herrmann, the show is about Romans living in the seaside village of Pompeii in AD 79 at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.

In addition, 42nd Street Moon will present four performances (also at the Eureka) of Craig Jessup Sings Noel Coward (April 5-12), the cabaret performer's one-man musical consisting primarily of Coward's own words, extracted from diaries, interviews and his many hit songs and comedies.

The 2008/09 season will also include the previously announced High Spirits, based on Coward's sparkling comedy Blithe Spirit (March 19-April 12) and Maureen McVerry in Cy Coleman's Wildcat in May.
