David Rossmer and Steve Rosen's musical The Other Josh Cohen will receive an off-Broadway run this fall at the Westside Theatre. Directed by Hunter Foster, previews will begin October 26, with opening night set for November 12. The limited run is scheduled to conclude on February 24.

With book, music, and lyrics by Rossmer and Rosen, The Other Josh Cohen tells the story of Josh Cohen, single and broke, whose apartment has been robbed of everything but a Neil Diamond CD. But his luck takes a turn when a mysterious envelope arrives that changes his life.

Rossmer and Rosen will star in the production, reprising roles they originated at Soho Playhouse in 2012 and later played at Paper Mill Playhouse in 2014. Rosen also played his role at Geva Theatre Center in January. Full casting will be announced in the coming weeks.

The creative team includes scenic designer Carolyn Mraz, lighting designer Jeff Croiter, sound designer Bart Fasbender, and costume designer Nikki Moody.
