Crossword Genius

Somehow gets ad produced (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staged

'produced' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'somehow gets ad' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'gets'+'ad'='getsad'
'getsad' anagrammed gives 'STAGED'.

(Other definitions for staged that I've seen before include "Of a play, brought about" , "(Of play/opera) mounted" , "Put on (as show)" , "Performed or produced play" , "Organised (a performance)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
