Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg was recently confirmed to be planning his next movie for 2027, a Western that would mark his first venture into the genre. Now, another report suggests he is preparing to make the leap into theater. The New York Post, which first broke the news, reports that Spielberg is also looking to make his Broadway debut in 2027 by directing the first stage production of his career.

The project will be an original musical created by Shrek the Musical composer Jeanine Tesori and Tony Kushner, the acclaimed playwright behind Angels in America (pictured above, right).
Kushner is a longtime Spielberg collaborator, having worked on the screenplays for West Side Story, Munich, Lincoln and The Fabelmans. He previously teamed with Tesori on the musical "Caroline, or Change," with Tesori composing the music and Kushner writing the book and lyrics. Plot details for their new production remain under wraps, though the story is reportedly connected to Christmas.
