The New York Musical Theatre Festival and Skivvies Inc present I See London, I See France (The Underwear Musical) to play TBG Theatre (312 West 36th Street) with performances beginning September 18 at 8PM through September 29.

"When brainy ad exec Gina is dumped for a bimbo on her 35th birthday, her universe starts to crumble," explain press notes, "Haunted by a trio of singing lingerie models, she's shocked to find herself falling for the dim-but-smoldering poster boy for her agency's most salacious campaign. In this fast-paced, scantily-clad musical comedy, seven colorful characters drag Gina to the brink of insanity and back on a round-the-globe search for love, happiness and an underwear ad that just might change the world."

Sandy Rustin (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) stars as Gina. Kenny, the object of her lust, will be played by underwear model/actor Nicholas Ardell. The cast also features Jordan Gelber (Avenue Q), Ronica V. Reddick, David Rossmer (creator of Don't Quit Your Day Job), Juliana Ashley Hansen ("Grease: You're the One That I Want"), Mandi Miller, and Karla Mosley.
