Billy Crystal Teams with Jason Robert Brown & Amanda Green for MR. SATURDAY NIGHT Musical

Billy Crystal has his sights set on Broadway! According to Variety, the stage and screen veteran is at work on a musicalized version of his 1992 film, Mr. Saturday Night. "It's a great character and now I don't need the makeup!" Crystal told Variety. "It's coming along very well. The funny is always there but the depth and the humanity is even stronger, based on what we learned from the reaction to the movie over the years."

A workshop for the musical, which Crystal is developing with The Nederlander Organization, will take place in May. The creative team includes Jason Robert Brown and Amanda Green, plus the movie's screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel.
