NEW YORK (AP) ? A musical based on Jonathan Lethem's celebrated 2003 novel "The Fortress of Solitude" is heading toward New York.
The Public Theater said Monday that it will co-produce the show and bring it to its downtown home for the 2014-15 season after it debuts at the Dallas Theater Center in March.
