A Broadway Move for 'Hands on a Hardbody' The new musical "Hands on a Hardbody," about a group of Texans competing to win a new truck by keeping one hand on it the longest, will open on Broadway during the 2012-13 season following the world premiere production now underway at the La Jolla Playhouse, the producers of the Broadway transfer announced on Tuesday. Casting for Broadway was not announced, but the La Jolla performers include Keith Carradine (a Tony nominee for the title role in "The Will Rogers Follies"), Hunter Foster ("Urinetown"), and Connie Ray ("Next Fall"). Based on a 1997 documentary by S.R. Bindler and Kevin Morris about a real-life endurance contest, the musical has a book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright ("I Am My Own Wife"), music by Trey Anastasio of the band Phish and Amanda Green (the new musical "Bring It On"), and lyrics by Ms. Green. The show's musical staging is by Benjamin Millepied, best known for his choreography in the movie "Black Swan." And the show is being directed by Neil Pepe, who staged the 2008 Broadway revival of "Speed-the-Plow" and is artistic director of the Atlantic Theater Company. The La Jolla production opened on May 12 and is scheduled to run through June 17. In addition to casting, the theater and performance dates for the Broadway run will be announced later. An earlier version of this post included Jarrod Emick in the cast. He is not in the production.
