It will be directed by Stuart Ross (Forever Plaid, Radiant Baby). Mark Hartman (Avenue Q) is the musical director.

Bajour, which premiered on Broadway in 1964, is a "musical comedy based on the Joseph Mitchell short stores published in The New Yorker.  A 'Bajour' is to gypsies the highest of all the arts, and refers to a con game involving separating lonely older women from their savings.  The show is about an anthropology student at NYU whose doctoral study of nomadic gypsies brings her in contact with a tribal leader, who needs to raise a dowry to purchase a bride from Newark's Gypsy King for his son. Anxious to marry, this bride offers to stage a 'bajour' to help finance it but complications ensue when she targets the student's widowed mother," state press notes
