The pair, who between them have been behind some of Broadway's most successful shows, will bring Next Fall, a play by Geoffrey Nauffts, to the New York stage next month.
John previously penned the music to The Lion King and Billy Elliot: The Musical, which opened in New York in 2008 after four years in London. Furnish worked as an executive producer on the latter, which was nominated at the Tony awards for best score.
They will now finance and put their names to Next Fall, which examines the relationship between two gay men and the difficulties they encounter due to their religious beliefs. Interesting....
The play enjoyed success during a series of performances off Broadway last summer. Click here to learn more!
