The Greatest Showman on Stage

One possible next Disney musical appears to be a stage adaptation of “The Greatest Showman” — the company held a workshop for the show earlier this year, but that production is still relatively early in its development process.

"This is the moment you’ve waited for. A stage adaptation of THE GREATEST SHOWMAN is currently in development by Disney Theatrical Group."

As per usual, I'm mostly just excited to get a more fleshed out songbook. Hopefully some more solo numbers for Anne and Lettie.

“It’s an absolute joy to finally share our incredible cast with the world—led by the brilliant Oliver Tompsett and Samantha Barks," says Nicholaw in a statement. "After an exhaustive search we have gathered a group of artists whose talent will bring to life this fantastic story—with a theatrical new book by Tim Federle and the beloved score created by Pasek and Paul. Together with a world-class creative team, we are so excited to bring this story to life for the first time on stage.”

“Roles like this don’t come along very often, so it’s an absolute privilege to be taking on this incredible character in the original company of The Greatest Showman," says Tompsett. "I’m so very fortunate to be surrounded by the most brilliant cast—Sam, Ben, Lorna, Malinda, and Vajèn—and can’t wait to begin the creative process with Casey and the team in the rehearsal room.”

Disney be like "We call dibs on Samantha Barks for time and all eternity!"

Anyways, nice to see this coming together. I'm eager to hear more about the soundtrack.
