BOSTON, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Boston theatergoers Tuesday got the first look at the Broadway-bound musical, "High Fidelity," Playbill.com reported.

The romantic comedy stars Will Chase as Rob, a record store owner, and Jenn Colella as the ex-girlfriend who inspires him to grow by revisiting his history of rocky relationships.

Author Nick Hornby set his novel in London, the 2000 film version starring John Cusack and Jack Black was set in Chicago and the stage musical moves the record store and all the action to Brooklyn.

"Fuddy Meers" and "Rabbit Hole" playwright David Lindsay-Abaire wrote the book for the stage show and Tom Kitt wrote the music with lyrics by Amanda Green.

"High Fidelity" is scheduled to move to Broadway's Imperial Theatre for previews starting Nov. 20 with an opening date of Dec. 7.
