Kiwi screenwriter/playwright Anthony McCarten has a new film about Whitney Houston coming out for Christmas - I Wanna Dance With Somebody. But that's not the biggest news. He also has not one but two shows opening on Broadway, New York City.
This is a first. In fact it's a first for a New Zealander to have one show on Broadway, let alone two!
One's a play called The Collaboration about the brief but highly productive time culture icons Basquiat and Andy Warhol produced art together.
The other is a full-on musical A Beautiful Noise about superstar Neil Diamond.
Anthony already has copious BAFTA and Oscar nominations to his name for films including Bohemian Rhapsody, The Theory of Everything, The Two Popes and Darkest Hour. But this is different. For a start it's live every night.
I asked Anthony McCarten how his nerves are holding out with two Broadway shows on the go.
Anthony McCarten. His two Broadway shows open later this month, while his Whitney Houston movie I Wanna Dance with Somebody opens in cinemas just before Christmas.
