'Martha! The Unauthorized Musical' in development
 If Trump can get a foot on Broadway, why not the domestic goddess with the electronic bracelet on her ankle?
"Martha! The Unauthorized Musical" is in development, featuring songs such as "Martha!," ("Martha you’re so seasonal, with cheese artisanal. ... Martha you’re a good thing,") and "When the Train Comes Around the Corner," about none other than Metro North. Four songs are already available on the website.
More from the writers:
"The show tells the life story of Martha Blake, who, with guile and glue gun, rises from her working class Polish roots to become doyenne of American domesticity and one of the most successful businesswomen in American history. There's also a nasty bit about insider trading thrown into the mix to assure that Martha! The Unauthorized Musical is a tale of Shakespearean proportions with a strong second act. No food icon goes unskewered as Martha gets help and advice from Julia Child (in a ballet, naturally) and Aunt Jemima…'the beloved yet politically incorrect icon associated with the inferior, mass-market pancake mix.'" The first act of the show will get an industry-only reading on June 27.
Reports in Playbill and Blogway Baby.
