Tamsin Greig to make musical debut in WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

Jeffrey Lane and David Yazbeck's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, a musical adaptation of the Spanish movie of the same name by Pedro Almodovar, which closed early on Broadway in 2011, is set to open in London. According to The Daily Mail, the tuner, starring Olivier winner Tamsin Greig, will begin previews on on December 20, with opening night set for January 12, 2015 at the Playhouse Theatre. Bartlett Sher, who directed the Great White Way incarnation, will helm the reworked, scaled down, U.K. production.

Greig won the Olivier for Much Ado About Nothing and received an Olivier nod for The Little Dog Laughed. Her screen credits include Green Wing, Black Books, Episodes and Emma.

Tamsin Greig said: "I am excited, thrilled and terrified to have been invited to collaborate with artists of the calibre of Pedro Almodóvar, Bart Sher, David Yazbek and Jeffrey Lane to perform in a musical. If it's true that you are only as good as the company you keep, then I am in very safe hands. And I feel very fortunate to have been encouraged – well, bullied – by my agent to have singing lessons, to learn new skills and to experience other creative mediums. I have also run out of excuses why I can't do it!"
