What happened to the Death Becomes Her musical?

In December 2017 Universal announced that they were developing a Death Becomes Her musical with Kirstin Chenoweth but there have been no news since.

Is there any insider info on this? Has it been scrapped?

it’s one of my favorite movies and I think it would lend itself well to a Broadway adaptation, so I’m kinda bummed nothing has materialized yet

It's GREAT material for a musical. But I don't think authors were ever announced for the Cheno version? It can really overcomplicate things when an actor is announced prior to a creative team...a lot of women could play those parts well.

Feels like ideal subject matter for Marc Shaiman or Tim Minchin or the Lopezes.

This was one of half a dozen musicals Cheno said she was doing. When she announces or hints at a musical she’s doing, I immediately know it’ll never happen.

What happened to the Death Becomes Her musical?

It’s been delayed due to Chenoweth’s attachment to 34 other musical adaptations and bio musicals in development.

Yeah, it's stuck in development hell. Universal hired writers and none of them have any interesting theatre credits, so we'll see if it ever actually materializes.

It’ll play in rep with “Soapdish”, her Marlene Dietrich musical and whatever that country western show she said she was working on.

I hate that there were even multiple musicals about that woman in development, but Cheno HAS to be the top choice if Elton's transfers, right? I mean it's perfect casting.
