An adaptation of the Jerry Lewis movie "The Nutty Professor" is coming to Broadway.

The 83-year-old comedian will direct the stage version of the film about the nerdy, absentminded professor.

Lewis co-wrote and played the title role in the 1963 motion picture version.

It will make its Broadway debut during the 2010-2011 season.

Lewis last appeared on Broadway in 1995 in a revival of "Damn Yankees."
