Tony Nominee Todd Graff to Develop Music Drama for The CW

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The CW Network is teaming with producer Scooter Braun and Tony nominee Todd Graff to develop an all-new musical drama. The project will feature original music as well as cameos from some of the biggest names in pop culture.

The site reports that the series will be set in the world of music, entertainment and social media and will follow the career of Gary Graham, described as "a brilliant young manager with the talent and ambition to shake up the industry, which is a world gone viral: where stars are minted overnight, relationships are constantly tested and careers can be made or crushed with one perfectly placed phone call. Will he manage to stay true to himself while outmaneuvering the roadblocks put in place by clients, lovers and colleagues? It's a fine line."

Graff has been tapped to write the script as well as executive produce along with Tony Krantz. Braun, perhaps best known as the manager of pop stars Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, will also executive produce. The project would mark Braun's second TV scripted effort alongside the new CBS drama 'Scorpion.'

Graff's (Broadway's Baby), writing credits include Used People, The Vanishing and Camp, for which he received a 2003 Sundance Film Festival nomination for the Grand Jury Prize.
