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.' -- AP
