Very interesting musical. Can’t really think how it will work, so I would be very curious to see it.
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan‘s 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless In Seattle is heading to Broadway – as a musical.
Screenwriter Jeff Arch, who penned the hit movie, is working with composer and lyricist Leslie Bricusse to turn the film into a song-and-dance production for the New York stage.
The theatre adaptation, aimed for release in 2010, will be directed by My Big Fat Greek Wedding filmmaker Joel Zwick and produced by David Shor, according to industry paper Daily Variety.
I agree. It should be interesting, but I’m more interested to see who they cast!
