This is great news. I hope Julie Walters can be involved in it.

Great movie. Hope it transfers well to stage.

Oh Great. Now we get to witness the piano being broken up for heat eight shows a week. I wonder if they paid Charles Dickens a royalty for that scene!

I take it the movie was a big success in the States then? I wasn't sure, I just remember seeing a very small advert for it in the New York Times. Sadly though one of my favourite things about the film is the soundtrack - not much good if it's going to be a new musical!

Jake, I wouldn't say the movie was a big success in the States. Probably moderate is a better word.

Maybe they will keep "I Love To Boogie".
