A smash hit Broadway success, this delightful comedy deals with four very engaging and believable people: a millionaire businessman, his disarmingly innocent mistress, his hoodwinked wife, and an irate victim of his heartless business practices, whose paths cross under the most unexpected and hilarious circumstances.
"One of my inspirations for reading titles comes from perusing the long list of past plays at the Playhouse. I was glancing through the 'A's' one day while a copy of Westport Magazine was sitting on my desk. My eye caught Any Wednesday, I looked over and saw a picture of Melissa Joan Hart on the cover of the magazine and a plan took shape. I'm so looking forward to working with our latest new neighbor on a lovely play that is as funny and honest as it was when it was first produced!" - Anne Keefe
