Ginger Twinsies, Kevin Zak's new parody of the 1998 film The Parent Trap, will make its world premiere this summer at Off-Broadway's Orpheum Theatre.
Previews will begin July 10 ahead of a July 24 opening night, with a limited run to continue through October 26. Zak is also directing.
Casting and further creative team members are to be announced.
Press notes promise "nostalgia, camp (literally, they go camping), and some unexpected twists" in the work inspired by the 1998 film written by Nancy Meyers, David Swift, and Charles Shyer. A remake of a 1961 film, 1998's The Parent Trap, starred Lindsay Lohan as two 12 year-old twins who are separated at birth when their parents divorce and move to different continents. A chance encounter at a Maine summer camp reunites them and sparks a plan to get their parents back together. The film was Lohan's first major credit, kicking off a career that skyrocketed soon after. The film also starred late Tony winner Natasha Richardson as the twins' mother. Erin Mackey served as Lohan's double.
Preston Whiteway, Jenny Steingart, and Mandy Hackett are producing the parody musical, with general management by Baseline Theatrical. Andy Jones will serve as executive producer.
Tickets will go on sale May 5 at 10 AM ET at .
