It’s Broadway, baby! Yeeah!

Austin Powers, everyone’s favorite shagadelic super-spy is headed to the stage, more proof that Broadway producers will adapt anything into a musical (I’m talking to you, Spider-Man: Bring Out the Dark). According to the Hollywood Reporter, Casey Nicholaw (Book of Mormon, The Drowsy Chaperone) has been tapped to direct and the International Man of Mystery himself, Mike Myers, will write the book. I haven’t had the opportunity to see Book of Mormon yet, but I loved The Drowsy Chaperone so I guess there is the possibility that this could turn out to be a halfway decent show. I guess in retrospect it could be worse. Can you say Love Guru – The Musical?
