BRUCE LEE - BRUCE LEE MUSICAL HEADING FOR BROADWAY

A musical based on the life of martial artist BRUCE LEE is heading for Broadway. Tony-nominee David Yazbek, who co-created The Full Monty and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, is penning the music for the unlikely stage spectacular. The production will be based on the life story of the iconic action movie star, who died in 1973 at the age of 32. The show is expected to open on Broadway in 2009.
