Principal casting announced for Brown's new musical, inspired by the popular 1992 film.

                       

Stage and screen favorite Tony Danza (The Producers), Tony Award nominee Rob McClure (Chaplin), and Broadway veteran Brynn O'Malley (Annie) will lead the cast of the new Jason Robert Brown-Andrew Bergman musical Honeymoon in Vegas, set to premiere at the Paper Mill Playhouse September 26-October 27. Gary Griffin (The Color Purple) directs the work, which officially opens its pre-Broadway engagement on October 6.

Enter Tommy Korman (Danza), a widowed gambler who takes a shine to Betsy, on account of her resemblance to his late wife.

Bergman wrote and directed the film version of Honeymoon in Vegas.

The cast also includes Matt Allen, Stanley Bahorek, Tracee Beazer, Grady McLeod Bowman, Barry Busby, Daniel J. Edwards, Paige Faure, Leslie Donna Flesner, Gaelen Gilliland, Sarah Marie Jenkins, Max Kumangai, Raymond Lee, George Merrick, Mara Newbery, and Katie Webber.
