Kenny Leon To Direct “Cotton Club” Series
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron—the Broadway producers behind NBC’s The Sound of Music Live!, Peter Pan Live!, The Wiz Live!, and Hairspray Live!—are currently developing a new series for Fox about Harlem’s Cotton Club, one of the hottest nightspots of the roaring ’20s, according to Variety. Tony winner Kenny Leon (pictured), who directed the Hairspray Live, will direct the music series.
