Almost a year after taking a break from his Broadway hit musical 27 Heaven, bestselling multi media artist His Highness Ian Halperin has confirmed in an exclusive interview with Glosslip that he intends to take Broadway by storm this Fall, producing and directing two plays in the same night by a writer he says will make a ton of noise this year.

He'd only give her name to us as J.K., saying he's been collaborating with her for months and described her as being the "new Jackie Collins" of Broadway. The only other details Halperin divulged was that legendary Broadway composer/guitarist Laurent Medelgi (Hairspray, Spring Awakening, Rent) has agreed to write the score. He will also perform in the show.

Halperin said the concept of having two short plays in the same night, by the same writer will change the way theatergoers see plays from now on.

"People are tired of sitting through a three hour play. The idea of two shorts, similar subject matter by the same writer, with the same cast in both will be a first. People will beat down doors to see this."

After pressing Halperin he agreed to reveal the names of the plays - "Subconsciously Single" and "An Affairytale". Sounds like his writer J.K.'s timing is perfect for New York in light of all the Spitzer and governor cheating scandals earlier this year.
