Intro: Smoking Bloomberg, the topical musical comedy about New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on smoking tobacco in public places, is being developed as an animated project.
New Core Prods. and Silver Lining Film Group are seeking investment partners for the project, based on the stage musical by David Cornue, Sam Holtzapple, Warren Loy and Chris Todd. The satire was seen in a staging in the New York Musical Theatre Festival.
