Steven Spielberg Brings Broadway to TV

86874440 One of Hollywood's most successful filmmakers, Steven Spielberg, is bringing his talented eye to a project that concentrates on both the stage and the small screen. The prolific director and producer will chronicle a stage production from conception through script writing all the way until opening night. The program will air on Showtime and concentrate on a musical set to debut on Broadway, with a possible run in London's West End.

The Jurassic Park director has tapped Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who composed the score for Hairspray and also wrote the music and lyrics for a stage adaptation of the filmmaker's 2002 thriller Catch Me If You Can, to possibly develop a musical for the project.

Tell us: The legendary filmmaker has directed some of the biggest movies of our time, including Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, The Color Purple, E.T., and Raiders of the Lost Ark. What’s your favorite Steven Spielberg movie?
