I think that Fun With Dick and Jane would make a great musical, however someone else had the same idea given that i found this website: http://funwithdickandjanethemusical.com/

Does anyone know anything about this? Seems legit but the email in the contact section of the site doesnt work. I think its great source material

Some of the copy on that site references 2007, and on the "investor" page they ask you to fax them instead of emailing. I'd be willing to bet that the show never happened. Another clue is that the writer is also the producer, which is often a sign of a show that will never happen.

That seems like a very old website and much of the data they have on it is from 2006. They probably aren’t working on this project, even if they’re still alive. I mean, I haven’t even heard of any of those names. Also, what a sketchy way of getting investors. They must’ve been really desperate.

Just out of curiosity how does a writer doubling as a producer = a show will never happen? I’m just curious as I’ve never heard of this being a sign before. I know that it is sketchy for some projects if one person takes on multiple parts however I just wasn’t sure about those two parts

I think it's just a sign that it's most likely a vanity project or that they couldn't find a producer to option the piece. Generally, if you're a writer with a good show, other people want to produce it. I would assume as a writer that you'd want to focus on the writing and not the producing.
