Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is no stranger to Broadway — he helped bring shows such as Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing and Mel Brooks' The Producers to New York stages — but now he's really dreaming big.
The Weinstein Co. has announced an ambitious slate of Broadway musicals based on Miramax films, including Finding Neverland (2010), Shakespeare in Love, Chocolat, Cinema Paradiso, and Shall We Dance. Also in the works is a musical based on Pink Floyd's revolutionary rock album, The Wall.
Finding Neverland has music by Scott Frankel and lyrics by Michael Korie (the team behind Grey Gardens). The book is by Allan Knee, whose stage play was adapted for the movie.
Roger Waters of Pink Floyd and Lee Hall (Billy Elliot) are adapting The Wall, with Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola on board as a producer.
