Almodóvar Musical to Open on Broadway

There will even more unbalanced actresses on Broadway this fall, as a date has been confirmed for the opening of the stage musical version of gay director Pedro Almodovar's cult film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

The musical is based on the popular 1988 Spanish comedy about a much put-upon soap opera actress. Women will begin previews October 2 before a November 4 opening at the Belasco Theater as part of Lincoln Center's 2010-2011 season. A workshop production of the musical featuring Salma Hayek, Jessica Biel, and Glee's Matthew Morrison was performed last year, but the cast for the full-scale production hasn't yet been announced.
