John Legend to Produce off-Broadway Show With 'Chappelle's Show' Co-Creator Neal Brennan

Singer/producer John Legend is teaming up with Neal Brennan, co-creator of Chapelle's Show, to produce the off-Broadway comedy 3 Mics.

Brennan wrote the show, three separate stories about his career and life, which has already been produced in Los Angeles. Legend will produce along with his Get Lifted Film partners, and Drew Barr will direct the off-Broadway production.

The show starts Feb. 23 and will run through March 3 at the Lynn Redgrave Theater.

According to the Hollywood Reporter , the show covers a range of Brennan's humor:

"The first microphone is marked by his sardonic take on race, gender and contemporary heroes and hypocrites; the second mic showcases his punchy wit with one-liners he's crafted over the years but couldn't find a home for; and the third stands for stories of his personal struggles, dealing with everything from depression to relationships."

Hollywood Reporter also quoted Brennan on the show:

"To be on Broadway is a dream come true. Brando, Lansbury, Vereen ... you name 'em, they played here," stated Brennan.

He quickly realized that the show was not on Broadway:

"Like I said, Bleecker Street is a fantastic street. There used to be a Kim's Video down there and it was wonderful."
