According to The Daily Mail, A ROUND-HEELED WOMAN is headed to London. Emmy Award winner Sharon Gless ("Queer as Folk," "Burn Notice," "Nip/Tuck," "Cagney and Lacey") has performed the show in various venues and would star in this production also, which is based on the best-selling book and "follows the real-life adventures of Jane Juska when she courageously decides, at 66 years old, to place a personal ad in The New York Review of Books, that reads, 'Before I turn 67, next March, I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me...'"

Gless made her stage debut in Lillian Hellman's Watch on the Rhine at Stage West in Springfield, Massachusetts. Gless has extensive stage experience including two appearances in London's West End, first in 1993 with Bill Paterson, when she created the role of Annie Wilkes in the stage version of Stephen King's Misery at the Criterion Theatre, and then in 1996, where she appeared opposite Tom Conti in Neil Simon's Chapter 2, at the Gielgud Theatre. She also starred at Chicago playhouse The Victory Gardens Theater in Claudia Allen's Cahoots, as well as several stints, including an evening at Madison Square Garden with the National Company of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.

The Daily Mail reports that the London production will run at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith from October 18 through November 20.
