Jerry Lewis Set To Direct 'Nutty Professor'

NEW YORK (AP) ― Jerry Lewis — Broadway musical director?

The legendary comedian will direct a stage version of "The Nutty Professor," the 1963 film he co-wrote and in which he starred as the nerdy title character.

The show will feature music by Marvin Hamlisch and a book and lyrics by Rupert Holmes. It is expected to land on Broadway during the 2010-2011 season.

The 83-year-old Lewis last appeared on Broadway in 1995 in a revival of "Damn Yankees."
