Variety reports this morning that the dynamic producing duo of Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are bringing another show to the small screen - A Raisin in the Sun, which will go before the cameras in December for a 2007 airing on ABC featuring the leads of the Broadway revival - Sean 'Diddy' Coms, Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald and Sanaa Lathan.

By now, just about everyone has seen some form of Kander and Ebb's razzle-dazzle musical Chicago.
