As BroadwayWorld has previously reported, Tony Award winners Eddie Redmayne, Frank Langella and Patti LuPone and Tony nominees Stark Sands and Hope Davis will be a part of the cast of The Miraculous Year, HBO's new drama pilot for about "a charismatic, self-destructive Broadway composer," written by Red scribe John Logan, reportedly inspired by Stephen Sondheim.  The Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow is directing the pilot, which begins shooting this summer. Both Logan and Bigelow are also executive producing the piece.

Lee Pace ("Pushing Daisies") and Linus Roache ("Law & Order") are also set to be a part of the pilot's cast.

Miraculous Year' as a New York family drama, centered on Terry Segal (Butz), a composer and lyricist for Broadway. His father (Langella) is a painter; his sister (Davis) is a lawyer. The new star of Terry's show would be played by Redmayne, a role described by Deadline as "captivating and sexy."

Today, Michael Riedel reports in the New York Post that the music produced by Butz's character will be composed by Adam Guettel, best known for scoring Light In The Piazza.

The pilot is expected to be ready in early 2011.
