David Rossmer and Steve Rosen's musical comedy The Other Josh Cohen will welcome three new cast members. The production runs through April 28 at the Westside Theatre.

Jane Bruce joins the cast tonight, Tuesday, January 29, taking over the roles played by original cast member Kate Wetherhead. Cathryn Wake begins performances on Tuesday, February 5, taking over for Hannah Elless, who departs the production on February 3. Megan Loomis joins the cast as the female standby.

Directed by Tony nominee Hunter Foster, The Other Josh Cohen features a book, music, and lyrics by Rossmer and Rosen, who star in the title role. They are joined by Elizabeth Nestlerode (Once regional), Luke Darnell (Million Dollar Quartet Vegas), Louis Tucci (Buddy), and Zach Spound (Cruel Intentions: The Musical).

The Other Josh Cohen is described as follows: "From the moment audiences enter the Westside Theatre, they are immersed in the quirky world of Josh Cohen's New York City apartment… as it is getting robbed. Thus begins the hilarious rock-and-roll romantic comedy about good-guy-Josh, caught in a lifelong battle with bad luck. Broke and alone, all hope seems lost — until a mysterious letter arrives that changes his life forever."
