NEW YORK -- Jerry Lewis _ Broadway musical director? The legendary comedian will direct a stage version of "The Nutty Professor," the 1963 film he co-wrote and in which he starred as the nerdy title character. The show will feature music by Marvin Hamlisch and a book and lyrics by Rupert Holmes. It is expected to land on Broadway during the 2010-2011 season. The 83-year-old Lewis last appeared on Broadway in 1995 in a revival of "Damn Yankees."
