Writer-director Adam McKay (“Anchorman, “Talladega Nights”) and Funny Or Die have joined forces with Archie Comics to bring Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and the Riverdale gang to Broadway in an all-new musical.

“Archie represents a bygone era of America. And like all bygone eras, there are elements we miss and elements that should be bygone. This will be a musical that deals with both those realities in a bright, colorful and slightly demented way,” McKay said.

McKay is slated to bring his singular brand of comedy to the musical by writing the book for the show. A creative team and show dates will be announced at a later date.
