Book of Mormon Star Andrew Rannells Signs Deal for New Ryan Murphy Comedy Pilot.
Andrew Rannells, who longs for sunny Orlando but ends up in the less-than-welcoming Uganda in the Tony-winning musical The Book of Mormon, has signed a holding deal with 20th Century Fox TV and NBC to star in a new comedy from “Glee”‘s Ryan Murphy and Allison Adler, according to Deadline.com.
The comedy, co-written by Murphy and Adler, will also be directed by Murphy. The single-camera project is described as “a heartwarming comedy about a blended family of a gay couple and the woman who becomes a surrogate to help them start a family.”
‘The Book Of Mormon’ Has Recouped Investors Money.
NO REAL SURPRISE. IS WONDERFUL AND VERY COST EFFECTIVE.
While there is suspicion that the year-old Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark will have to run for decades to recoup its $75 million budget despite its glowing press, the same cannot be said of the Tony-winning The Book Of Mormon. The musical by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone this week recouped its capitalization and will now begin pouring cash into the pockets of investors. This is hardly a surprise: the musical continues to be Broadway’s hot ticket, and it has broken the house record 22 times at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre since opening March 24.
