Fran Drescher’s 1990s sitcom “The Nanny” is being developed as a Broadway-bound stage musical with a score by Emmy winners Rachel Bloom and Adam Schlesinger, producers Brian Zeilinger and Scott Zeilinger announced Wednesday.
Drescher and series co-creator Peter Marc Jacobson will write the book for the show, inspired by Drescher’s own life growing up in Queens, New York, as a Jewish fashionista.
The musical will feature a new score by Adam Schlesinger and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” creator-star Rachel Bloom, with lyrics by Bloom. Last fall, the duo won an Emmy Award together for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”).
Marc Bruni (“Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”) is attached to direct.
