Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell, the team behind the heavy-meta musical
?[title of show],? are writing a new sitcom for ABC ? as yet untitled, of course.

Mr. Bowen said he and Mr. Bell were developing the half-hour show with Marc Cherry, the creator of ?Desperate Housewives,? the executive producer Sabrina Wind and Michael Berresse, who directed and choreographed ?[title of show]? on and off Broadway.

Although the TV show is in the early stages of development, Mr. Bowen said it would not be a musical and would not be based on ?[title of show].? He also said there were no plans for him or Mr. Bell to be in the cast.

Weren't they working on a show for the Disney Cruise Line too? Did they ever finish that?

Nope you're correct.

They've penned the new Disney Villains show for the cruise line...I believe it goes onto the ship sometime this fall. A casting notice has gone out, so I would assume auditions are either currently happening or coming up soon.

At first I thought that read "heavy-metal musical".

I hope this is good.

I think the casting was this week as I heard a friend mention it.
