Jesse Eisenberg's been in the director's chair with movies like When You Finish Saving the World and A Real Pain under his belt, but he's just getting started.

What is the musical comedy about?
Variety also revealed Julianne Moore's character will be a "shy woman who is unexpectedly cast in a community theater musical production, going to extremes as she loses herself in the role."
I'm sensing Only Murders in the Building season 4 vibes with the exception of murder. Hopefully death isn't a major plot in the storyline?
Has filming started for it?
Variety reports the musical comedy began filming this month!
What kind of music can we expect to hear?
