La La Land Stage Version?

Is this still happening?

I imagine Pasek & Paul have been focused on developing Greatest Showman for the stage for the past couple years, but that's not to say they can't work on multiple things at once, just that Greatest Showman has been prioritized for the public first (and with Disney behind it).

Not the biggest fan of the film but I might see the stage version. I wish P & P would consider bringing back 'Dogfight.'

Justin Hurwitz composed the music , Pasek and Paul are both the lyricists.

This actually already exists (in concert form). It played 2 nights at Carnegie Hall earlier this year, and they sold out almost immediately.

I think LA LA LAND’s acclaim upon its original release was somewhat justified. It was so NEW in its approach (to anyone not familiar with the great film musicals of yesterday). When revisiting this lately, the score is weaker than I remember during my first viewing and the story is too paper thin to hold interest in a 2-hour plus Broadway musical.

However, when I want to impress people with my home theatre setup, LA LA LAND’s opening number on that clogged freeway never fails to impress. That’s the beauty of movies, which generally can’t be replicated on stage; try as has been attempted for years.

If LA LA LAND were to come to Broadway, as a near carbon copy of the film, I fear it will be our next NEW YORK, NEW YORK. Even though Broadway’s NEW YORK, NEW YORK tried to add subplots and stories galore, the basic underlying concept just didn’t work…and, beyond its title song, didn’t work as a film either.

I love this for the Juilliard students. What an opportunity. :)
