there are some fantastic songs in that list, but it will take one hell of a book writer to bring them all together into something cohesive.

He has written and produced way too many songs to list but these are the 22 number one hits he has had in the US alone: That is quite the list! It does slightly concern me that this might end up being just a trashy jukebox show that packs in the drunken hen parties, but with Luke Sheppard at the helm I’m optimistic that it’ll be much more than that. Imagine Miriam (and other MT stars) singing some of those numbers!! |

Who is Luke Shepard? What has he directed to cause excitement?

Among other things, the Southwark Playhouse's production of 'Working' in 2017.

I get a "video screen" style staging for this one.

Surely they're not going to be allowed to use all of those songs? Other people will have a say in whether to grant the rights or not, and I can't see Taylor Swift for one letting her songs be used as only part of a score to a jukebox musical...
Also not the type of music I'd prefer to hear Miriam sing - she has a killer voice that would be wasted on Britney-esque bubblegum pip!

Well the Britney songs are out as there is apparently a musical in the works anyway. I agree though, it'll be a bitch to get all the rights for this show. It'll make up the majority of the budget, watch. 😂😂 |

I would have thought they would have gone for Rachel John (maybe the did) so they could go off her ‘direct from Hamilton’ experience

Are there any clues as to who’s producing this?

David West Read has written about 20 episodes of Schitt's Creek - which isn't a bad pedigree. However he also wrote a truly terrible play called The Performers which played Broadway for 6 performances in 2012.

"hip hop, commercial, street dancers"... oh OK, well least we don't have any false illusion now, we kinda know what to expect.

Oh I fear this will join the legions of flops at the Shaftesbury, such as; Thoroughly Modern Millie, Daddy Cool, Bat Boy and The Far Pavillon.

Napoleon, Out of The Blue, Lautrec or Peggy Sue Got Married. I don't know why but when I read about this, it somehow reminded me of Desperately Seeking Susan. |

I worked on The Far Pavilions. I've suffered enough.

Doesn’t sound like something that can sell out the Shaftesbury and sustain a decent run but I wish it all the success, definitely sounds like I show I’ll get tickets for and see for myself.
