The Nanny is being developed into a Broadway musical, producers Brian Zeilinger and Scott Zeilinger have announced, to be based on the iconic Sony Pictures Television series created by Peter Marc Jacobson and Fran Drescher.
The musical will feature a book co-written by Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Drescher and Jacobson, with lyrics by Emmy and Golden Globe winner Rachel Bloom and music by Bloom and three-time Emmy winner and Tony Award nominee Adam Schlesinger. Bloom and Schlesinger most recently won a 2019 Emmy Award together for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics ("Crazy Ex-Girlfriend").
Partly inspired by Drescher's own life growing up in Queens, New York, The Nanny's beloved 146 episodes aired from 1993 to 1999, starring Drescher and earning 12 Emmy Award nominations over 6 seasons. The television show has been aired in over 90 countries and more than 30 languages.
A production timeline for the Broadway-bound musical, additional creative team members, and casting information will be announced at a later date.
