The Bronx is up, the Battery’s down, and this fall, On the Town — the musical comedy that is considered a “love letter” to New York — will be returning to Broadway in a brand-new production, just in time to coincide with the show’s 70th anniversary. The revival will be produced by Howard & Janet Kagan (Pippin, The Gershwins’ Porgy & Bess) and will feature choreography by Emmy winner Joshua Bergasse (Smash). Tony winner John Rando (Urinetown, A Christmas Story) is set to direct.

On the Town will find its new home at The Lyric Theatre, which was most recently called the Foxwoods Theatre and home to the long-running but ill-fated musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to make The Lyric Theatre our home for On the Town,” the producers said in a press release. “This classic Broadway theatre, right on 42nd Street in the heart of Times Square, is the perfect spot, and now is the perfect time to bring this big, brassy musical comedy back to The Great White Way.”

On the Town, which evolved from the Jerome Robbins ballet Fancy Free, boasts the legendary creative team of Leonard Bernstein (music), and Betty Comden and Adolph Green (book). It debuted at the Adelphi Theatre in 1944 before transferring to the 44th Street Theatre and the Martin Beck Theatre and, during its run, played for 462 performances. Casting and official ticket information for the revival has not yet been announced.

Originally, the musical King Kong, fresh off its successful run in Melbourne, Australia, was expected to open at the Lyric in December. However, because of the complexity and scope of the production, the producers have made the decision not to rush its debut.
