Neil Diamond's getting the latest bio-musical treatment.
A show based on the singer and his career is headed to Broadway, with a score by the iconic singer-songwriter and a book by"Bohemian Rhapsody" writer Anthony McCarten, reports Deadline. "I've always loved Broadway," McCarten said."The inspiration for many of my early songs came from shows like 'West Side Story,' 'My Fair Lady' and 'Fiddler on the Roof', so it seems only fitting to bring my songs to The Great White Way.
As a child you took it into yourself, and to this day I can recite the lyrics of his hits deep into their second or third verses. Imagine my excitement, then, when the opportunity arose to work with Neil on a musical based on his life and music. A very, very easy and so sweet 'Yes!'"Producers Ken Davenport and Bob Gaudio announced today that the untitled project is already in development."Hedwig and the Angry Inch" director Michael Mayer will direct.
