Former iOS chief Scott Forstall produces second Broadway show

Forstall took to Twitter on Monday to announce the news, saying he is proud to be part of the first Broadway show to feature an all-female creative team and cast. This will be his second stage production after last year's "Fun Home," which became the first musical with an all-female writing staff to win a Tony for Best Musical, The Verge reports.

Beyond financial backing, it is unclear how involved the former iOS guru got in bringing "Eclipsed" to Broadway. Forstall played a large role in the "Fun Home" marketing campaign, working on search engine optimization and other tech-related initiatives in cooperation with Silicon Valley contacts he made while at Apple.

Written by The Walking Dead actress Danai Gurira, "Eclipsed" was staged at The Public Theater's 177-seat LuEsther Hall in October before opening at the 900-seat Golden Theater on Sunday, reports Variety. Like "Fun Home," Forstall is listed in the credits as co-producer alongside his wife.

Since leaving Forstall has largely avoided the public eye. He has published a total of five tweets since joining Twitter in April 2015, and currently follows three other accounts: the official pages of "Eclipsed" and "Fun Home," and Conan O'Brien.
