Strange choice for a musical and strange choice for someone to produce this as a musical (and possibly be a lyricist)

So I guess this will have an all new score and won't use any of the songs from the movie. The animated movie was awesome, so this story might make a good show, if it's done right.
The book is incredible, and I have a soft spot for the film and Jimmy Webb's songs.

Assuming Fergie can act (I've never seen any proof either way on that) and is willing to perform like a Broadway star and not a pop singer here (unlike her ghastly performance in the 'Nine' movie), this could actually be interesting.
She does have a beautiful voice when she bothers to use it properly, and I always thought if she could get away from that Will.i.am idiot who wrote most of her pop songs, she couls actually amount to something...

From the article it sounds like she wants to produce and write, not star in it.

Oh, God, no. If she could write music, one imagines she would have started the day her primary collaborators handed her the lyric sheet that said 'lovely lady lumps'. I could see her as a Broadway performer, maybe, with luck, but I have serious doubts she's gonna pull some amazing gift for songwriting out of her ass.
I'm officially no longer excited about this project.
