WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF a NERVOUS BREAKDOWN is a new musical based on the film. Bartlett Sher (SOUTH PACIFIC) leads the extraordinary collaborators Jeffrey Lane (book) and David Yazbek (music and lyrics). Lane and Yazbek, the team behind DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, have taken Almodsvar's tale and infused it with their own wry, comic style and an irresistible Spanish beat.
