Scott Forstall has emerged following his departure from Apple as a Broadway musical producer.

We haven't heard much from Forstall since his ousting from Apple in 2012 but just yesterday leaked emails from Sony suggest he received 0.11% of Snapchat's stock to serve as an adviser to the company.

Today, Forstall tweeted for the first time saying, "I'm thrilled to be co-producing the Broadway musical Fun Home http://funhomebroadway.com opening this Sunday. Bravo to the phenomenal team!"

FUN HOME is based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir. It features music by 4-time Tony Award nominee Jeanine Tesori (Violet; Caroline, or Change), book and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Lisa Kron (Well) and direction by Sam Gold (Seminar), and stars Tony winner Michael Cerveris (Sweeney Todd) and three-time Tony nominee Judy Kuhn (Les Misérables).

FUN HOME introduces us to Alison at three different ages, revealing memories of her uniquely dysfunctional family – her mother, brothers and volatile, brilliant, enigmatic father – that connect with her in surprising new ways. This intimate and emotional theatrical experience is performed entirely in the round, bringing audiences closer to Alison’s story than ever before.

Notably, the Forstalls are mentioned in the playbill.
