I have done a search and can't find anything related but I was watching Mommie Dearest this week and on the extra features the producer mentioned he was currently working on a musical.

Does anyone have any information/updates on this?

Oh lord.

Either another brilliant show like Gypsy

or another Carrie

I was thinking it would probably need to be more along the lines of a Xanadu.

It might work as a sort of tongue-in-cheek grand opera. Dunaway sounds like she's singing (to an orchestra in her head) during many key passages in the movie. Think of Mommie jumping octaves on "Noooooo........wire..........HANGEEEEEEERS!!!!!"

Considering Christina was a psycho looney bitch who sullied the name of her mother, I rather not see it made into a musical.

I may be wrong, but I seem to remember this being something that was debuted in Texas' Theatre of/Under the Stars a few years ago. The memory is hazy but it's there.

OK, now I'm thinking I'm confusing it with a musical version of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?.

Anyone know?

Haven't heard of a Mommie Dearest musical, but if they cast Joan as a man in drag ala "Ruthless" I bet it would be great.

There is a musical of baby Jane, but it's awful and never went anywhere. They mat be reworking it though.
