Brooke Shields Breaks Hand During LEAP OF FAITH Rehearsal

According to People.com, Brooke Shields broke her hand while in rehearsal for a Los Angeles production of "Leap of Faith."

"Brooke broke her hand during rehearsal for the musical "Leap of Faith. The cast will be off before previews on September 11. It was a minor break and did not affect the production schedule," said her rep.

Golden Globe Award-nominee Brooke Shields and four-time Tony Award-nominee Raúl Esparza will star in the world premiere of the new musical LEAP OF FAITH, which begins performances at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre in September.

Based on the Steve Martin movie and featuring a score by eight-time Academy Award-winner Alan Menken, book by Janus Cercone with Glenn Slater, and lyrics by Glenn Slater, LEAP OF FAITH will star Raúl Esparza as Reverend Jonas Nightengale, the consummate flim-flam man, and Brooke Shields as Marva, the beautiful small-town woman and single mother who challenges everything Jonas believes in.

Tony Award-winner Rob Ashford is the director and choreographer.

"Leap of Faith" will be presented September 11 through October 24, 2010, with the opening scheduled for October 3.
