Yeah, Baby! Austin Powers Musical Eyes Broadway Run

The International Man of Mystery may be headed to Broadway. Mike Myers is in discussion to adapt the popular Austin Powers series for the Broadway stage, according to New York Post. Myers, who played the title character and wrote the three Austin Powers films, would be heavily involved in writing the musical, but does not have plans to reprise the character on stage himself.

Directed by Jay Roach, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery hit movie theaters on May 2, 1997. The comedy followed Austin Powers (Myers), a British secret agent living in London's swinging '60s era who was on the pursuit of his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil (also played by Myers). When Dr. Evil disappears into space, Powers has his own body cryogenically frozen in hopes of thwarting Dr. Evil's efforts, should the mad man ever return in the future. Thirty years later Powers is unfrozen and finds life in in the '90s incredibly different from his days in the '60s.

The film was followed by two sequels: Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002).
