At City Center Stage I Christopher Ashley directs Tony Award winner Christine Baranski, Diane Davis, Tony Award winner George Grizzard, Jackie Hoffman, Tony Award nominee Siân Phillips and David Rasche. Previews began Oct. 19.

"From the pen of the inspired Paul Rudnick comes a delicious world premiere comedy of Manhattan manners, exploring the very latest topics in marriage and friendship," according to MTC. "The setting: a Park Avenue penthouse. The players: a powerhouse attorney, his deliriously social wife and their closest friend, one of the world's most staggeringly successful fashion designers. Add a daughter's engagement, some major gowns, the President of the United States, and stir."

The production's design team features Michael Yeargan (set), William Ivey Long (costume), Natasha Katz (lighting), John Gromada (sound).
