According to Baz a musical version of the hit 90s film may be on its way to the West End next year, producers looking at The Cambridge and similar venues.

The world according to Baz- you gotta love him!
Imagine the size of his Folofax!

The business that 'Chicago' is doing will see it running many a year to come

To be fair though his info does tend to be pretty spot on. Although I agree, I cant imagine Chicago closing anytime soon. And Ghost The Musical, yet another movie on stage!

I cannot see Chicago closing, it strikes me that Chicago is such a cheap show to produce it virtually can go on and on.

It is one of the more obviously promising concepts for translation from film to musical though. If it is even half way decent, I would bet it gets staged.

This show is confirmed in an article on playbill.com:

I'm afraid it doesn't inspire me with any sense of excitement - I thought the movie was like watching paint dry. lol

It should be interesting to see how they do the dragging effect on stage, given that Mike Jittlov's in his 60's now and likely not capable of doing the spirits as he did in the film.

Then again, he wouldn't have to do them in stop motion onstage either.

Does it mean they wont have the iconic music for the pottery turning scene then?

I have not seen the film, not a huge film fan, might be inspired when it comes out.

I actually think it has a great story and would sit rather nicely as a musical on stage.
The bloody movie made wreck of when i first saw it.

I think it has a ggod story too! I think it could translate well! And this is Dave Stewart too! The music could be astounding even if not written with/for the incredible voice of Annie Lennox.

As far as I knpow this isn't intended to be Eurthymics jukebox fare, but if the "iconic" music of the potting scene is lost to be replaced with the likes of "Sweet Dreams", it won't be missed!

This is intended to have a new score, and i have to say the film actually has a great love story. Its no worse a story than Phantom etc
