book by Sara Wordsworth and music and lyrics by Jaheem Toombs; Ian Weinberger attached as director.;

Huh. Wonder how they'll handle the "naturalist" scene.

I'd admit that I love Judy Hopps so color me intrigued.

This line seems more akin to how they developed Freaky Friday; I don’t think this is aiming for broadway:

“An Equity audition notice lists a 90-minute musical version of the animated film currently being prepared for a professional LORT production”

The nude kickline was hilarious in the Broadway/tour version. When I saw the non-replica Pittsburgh CLO version, they climaxed it with a full on burlesque towel dance. It was unexpectedly VERY raunchy, but done in such humor and high spirits that nobody could actually object. (And lest anyone DID object, they had the chorus boys in brightly colored boxer briefs under the towel so no one could lie and say they "saw something.")
