Ashton Kutcher had been in talks to lead the project last year (09), but negotiations reportedly fell through and now Cook will tread the boards as a bachelor who falls in love with a plus-size girl.
Actor Josh Hamilton has signed on as Cook’s co-star, while other roles have yet to be cast.
The comedy was last staged off-Broadway in 2004 and enjoyed a successful run in London’s West End in 2009.
