According to the New York Times, Broadway producer Daryl Roth is currently working on bringing a handful of shows to the Great White Way.

Additionally, Roth is organizing a workshop for Abigail Pogrebin's 'Stars of David.' The musical will feature a book by Charles Busch.

IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU played New Jersey's George Street Playhouse in fall 2011, starring Lisa Howard, Tom Deckman, Mylinda Hull, Tyne Daly, Richard Kline, Jessica Hershberg, and more. The bride (played by Ms. Hershberg) is Jewish. The groom (played by Mr. Hydzik) is Catholic. Her mother (played by Ms. Daly) is a force of nature, his mother (played by Ms. Harris) is a tempest in a cocktail shaker. And when the bride's ex-boyfriend (played by Mr. Josefsberg) shows up, the perfect wedding starts to unravel faster than you can whistle "Here Comes the Bride!"

Early last year, A Time to Kill, the world premiere and first stage adaptation of a novel by John Grisham had its premiere at Arena Stage in DC. A Time to Kill depicts a Mississippi town's upheaval when Carl Lee Hailey takes the law into his own hands following an unspeakable crime committed against his daughter. Now on trial for murder, Carl Lee's only hope lies with one young, idealistic lawyer Jake Brigance, who is outmatched by the formidable district attorney, Rufus Buckley, and under attack from both sides of a racially divided city.
