A Broadway musical of La La Land, the movie that was essentially Hollywoods love letter to itself, is being created by Tony-winning producer Marc Platt.
The film starred Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as an aspiring actress and jazz musician, respectively, trying to live their dreams in Los Angeles. Which is often referred to as La La Land, due its disconnect with the real world.
“I’m thrilled to reunite with Lionsgate and the incredible team behind La La Land to adapt the movie for the Broadway stage, the next exciting chapter in its evolution,” said Platt, who also produced the movie. “We’ve assembled a world-class team to create a musical that will delight La La Land’s millions of current fans and introduce the property to a whole new audience.”
La La Land’s planned adaptation to the Broadway stage follows the launch of several live stage productions based on Lionsgate film and television properties including Dirty Dancing, Now You See Me, Wonder and Nashville.
