What's next for Composer Larry O'Keefe I hear you say...

Posted: 2/21/08 at 5:33am

A musical adaptation of the movie...

...wait for it...

HEATHERS!

...I'll give you a minute to take that in...

Wow. I had no idea.

Hasn't Broadway (and musical theater) had enough teen high school musicals? It's like "Ruthless!" meets "Grease"...lol

A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

"Ich bin" bullets. Yeah, right....

Someone should consider hiring Diablo Cody to do the book.

This will make for a very dark musical. I hope they keep the bite of the film.

You hate O'Keefe but love Wicked?

Makes a lot of sense.

::ignores the hate::

Well, if Bat Boy was anything to judge by, I'd say the bite of the film is in pretty good hands.

(No pun intended, I swear. Just pretend I said "edginess" or "sarcasm" or something.)

um...YES!

The creative team hopes to have a fully mounted regional production ready for 2010, followed ideally by a Broadway run.
