(Crowe co-wrote three of the Stillwater songs in the original film with Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson, who was his wife at the time.)
The musical will feature a book by Crowe based on his Academy Award-winning screenplay, music by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tom Kitt, lyrics by Tom Kitt and Cameron Crowe, and directed by Jeremy Herrin.
Producers Lia Vollack on behalf of Columbia Live Stage, Joey Parnes, Sue Wagner, and John Johnson confirmed today that Almost Famous, a new musical adapted from the seminal Cameron Crowe motion picture, is in the works.
The film has rich period detail, great characters and — most importantly — lots of music.
