Matthew Lombardo's new comedy LOOPED, directed by Rob Ruggiero and starring Valerie Harper, will play the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street). Previews begin on February 19 and opening night is Sunday March 14. BroadwayWorld was on hand when the cast and team met the press this week.

In addition to Harper, the production will feature Matthew Lombardo, Brian Hutchison, and Michael Mulheren.

LOOPED tells the story of Tallulah Bankhead, the internationally celebrated actress, being called into a sound studio in 1965 to re-record (or "loop") one line of dialogue for what would be her last film -- the dreadful "Die, Die My Darling." Southern, but by no means a belle, Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today's celebrity bad girls. Given her inebriated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor and the outrageous legend. Brian Hutchison and Michael Mulheren complete the company.

LOOPED will play Tue at 7, Wed-Fri at 8, Wed at 2, Sat at 2 & 8, and Sun. at 3 PM. Tickets are available through www.telecharge.com, or by calling 212 239 6200. For more information visit www.loopedonbroadway.com.
