Awesome news. Yay Nick! P.S. from Broadway.com
New Broadway Themed TV Pilot
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 8/12/13 at 6:21pmIt takes guts to try something that flopped so badly the first time. But Matt Doyle? I'm there.

Hmm. After Smash (and, to an extent, Bunheads) I wouldn't have thought anyone would touch Broadway again for a while.
I assume this is for a small cable network/internet broadcast of some kind? It's a funny time of year to shoot a pilot.

Yes! A Broadway-themed show again
Praying that NBC doesn't get a hold of this...

Posted: 8/12/13 at 6:31pmDoes that purposefully say the "Oxwood Theatre?"

Posted: 8/12/13 at 11:40pmOh God NBC Please don't touch this show! They canceled Smash and everything Good, they are a worthless network

Posted: 8/12/13 at 11:43pmI really can't see any other network than CBS or NBC getting this... maybe USA. Other than that, I'd hate to see what would happen if it went to something like ABC Family (not that ABC Family is bad- it's just not my cup of tea.)

Posted: 8/12/13 at 11:53pmthis is being done independent of any network.

Well, clearly, it's being produced independently. But a network will have to eventually pick it up and when that happens the network will play a role in the show's development, tone, storyline, etc. No matter what.
When I was at Disney Television, independent producers would approach us all the time with their own self-produced pilots. Only about two or three out of the hundreds got picked up and still, once it was picked up, Disney played a massive role in shaping the future of the series. It's no different elsewhere.

The article only mentions those actors "popping" in, not having lead roles.
I wouldn't hold your breath. (not saying it can't be good, but I'm sure SMASH will serve as a cautionary tale.)

Hmm something is fishy about this "pilot." Who is Jeremy Merrifield anyway? It's not even pilot season. Hmm they could afford a crane.

hahahah just because its produced doesnt mean anyone eventually has to be involved with it.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 12:03pmIF a network picks it up, they will be involved. That's common sense. Not difficult to understand. Either you misunderstood my post or I didn't state it eloquently enough... Not up to your standards, at least.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 1:00pmSorry but the network will have its hand in the creative wheelings and dealings. Whether it's Disney, CBS, NBCUniversal, or IFC. You can argue differently until the cows come home but my 18 years of experience in television say otherwise. I'll leave it at that. Feel free to stomp your feet and scream louder.

Posted: 8/14/13 at 3:25amNick told me that this was going to kinda a big part for him (Recurring was the word he used I believe). Don't know if things have changed since I talked to him though.

Posted: 8/14/13 at 7:00amWell, since it hasn't been picked up, right now, there will be no reoccurances. (And at this point, everyon'e fall is full, and I would suggest that whatever might be mid-season line up is also decided. So what's the earliest we could see this? A summer replacement or next fall.)
