"MOON OVER BUFFALO" CHANGES NAME TO "OVER THE MOON"

Ken Ludwig's comedy Moon Over Buffalo has had its title changed to Over the Moon.

The play opens at the Old Vic theatre on 15th Oct 01, following previews 9th Oct 01 and running to 12th Jan 02.

The show , directed by Ray Cooney will feature Joan Collins, Frank Langella, Moira Lister , Emma Barton, Paul Bentley, Cameron Blakely, Robert Fitch and Sarah Wateridge.

Synopsis: Showbusiness is renowned for broken marriages. However, George and Charlotte have been together for thirty years and their marriage and stage careers are perfect - until Charlotte discovers that George is having an affair with the juvenile lead in their current production. The ensuing chaos resuts in Charlotte immediately announcing that she is leaving George for his best friend, George resorting to drink and the juvenile lead resorting to a nervous breakdown...and these events are played out during the evening performance of the play in which they are all appearing. And on a night when, rumour has it, a big Hollywood actor is in town!
