OR put on his Fun Home wig and nerdier glasses and he can play Austin Powers.

He would be awesome and of course play both roles

My house party made the same joke. Somewhere, execs are now trying to find the right composer for the project, guaranteed.

David Yazbeck.

Yazbek would be pretty much perfect for it, though now that I think of it, I would LOVE to see this handed off to reclusive pop genius Andy Sturmer.

Wasn't there talks of an Austin Powers musical at one point in time? I thought Casey Nicholaw was attached to direct it if I remember correctly.

I take it no traction on this project?

Any Yazbek score is great, but yeah, I actually think this could make for a fun musical. Hopefully it would an original story using these characters?

The last news I could find was from December 2011...

I actually think that this could be a pretty good movie -> stage transfer. 

 

Yazbek would be my first choice too, but also the South Park guys could come up with some pretty fun stuff!

Michael Cerveris as Dr. Evil with Christian Borle as Austin Powers.
