"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than three decades after the two basketball legends arrived on the national stage, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are about to appear on a literal stage -- as the two lead characters in a new Broadway play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The story of the leading Laker and Celtic star -- their rivalry, their friendship and everything in between -- will be the subject of \"Magic/Bird,\" a new show opening in April.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I guess it's the real Showtime,\" Johnson told the AP.\nFor the show's two producers, Tony Ponturo and Fran Kirmser, it's the second in a series of sports-themed plays. The two also produced \"Lombardi,\" the story of legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
