Go Go's Musical HEAD OVER HEELS Will Get January Lab in NYC

A musical inspired by the songs of the 80's rock group The Go Go's might be on its way to an NYC stage. According to an Equity casting notice, a lab will be held January 16 - February 10.

Michael Mayer (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Spring Awakening) will direct the project, and Specer Liff is on board to choreograph. Tom Kitt has signed on as music supervisor, with Meg Zervoulis acting as music director.

Written by Jeff Whitty ("Avenue Q"), "Head Over Heels" made its debut over the summer at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Reviews for the show's initial outing were mixed. The show received praise for Whitty's script but was met with criticism for "an overlong and scattershot production".
