Zadan and Meron Raising Raisin
Gay producers
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Hairspray, Chicago) must never
sleep, since there always seems to be news about another project from
the prolific duo.
Their latest announcement concerns a TV version of the recent hit
Broadway revival of A Raisin in the Sun, a groundbreaking piece
of African-American theater from black lesbian playwright Lorraine
Hansberry.
The small-screen version will retain much of the stage show's acclaimed
cast, including Tony winner Phylicia Rashad, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, and
Tony nominee Sanaa Lathan (Nip/Tuck, Something New), who
will be joined by John Stamos and Sean Patrick Thomas (Barbershop).
This new Raisin - a feature film version was produced in 1961,
with Sidney Poitier in the lead - will see the light of day on ABC in
2008.
