The Waccabuc estate of Tony Award-winning Broadway producers Fran and Barry Weissler has been listed for sale at $13.2 million.

The grounds include a custom-built amphitheater that has hosted performances by the New York Philharmonic, Marvin Hamlisch, Tommy Tune and Christopher Plummer and James Earl Jones recreating scenes from “Othello,” which the Weisslers produced on Broadway in 1982. The grounds also feature a pool with cabana rooms, a tennis court, and wooded walking path with sculpture gardens.

The Weisslers bought the property in August 1999 for $3.65 million and have credited the financial success of their long-running Broadway production of “Chicago” for providing them with the means to acquire this luxury estate.
