A little over a year ago in this post, we pointed you (with great skepticism) to a press release for a forthcoming musical based on the Jerry Lewis movie, The Nutty Professor. Mr. Lewis was to direct said musical and Jerry, the article said, wanted to have a tryout run of it at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego this month, meaning June of '07.
It's not playing there now, nor is it scheduled in the next year. In fact, even with all the theater and show biz news I read, I haven't seen one word about any Nutty Professor musical since the initial announcement. And I have a hunch nobody else has, either…
