A musical based on the songs of disco/pop legends the Bee Gees is reportedly in the works.

Titled You Win Again (after one of the group's hit songs), the show will be in the mold of jukebox musicals Mamma Mia! and We Will Rock You, with a plot fashioned around a number of the Bee Gee's greatest hits. In this case, the show will tell the story of a fashion designer who falls in love with one of his models.

You Win Again will go into preproduction this fall, with plans to open on Broadway and in the West End at the end of next year, according to MSNBC. Written by Maurice and Sidney Greenberg, the show is likely to be a Clear Channel production, while numerous music labels are already interested in producing the cast recording.

The Bee Gees formed 40 years ago as a harmonically-rich group composed of Barry Gibb and his twin brothers Robin and Maurice. Maurice, sadly, passed away in 2003, and the Bee Gees stopped performing with his death. The Bee Gees are best known for their songs for the seminal film Saturday Night Fever (including the title song, "Stayin' Alive," "How Deep Is Your Love," and "More Than a Woman"). Their other albums include Size Isn't Everything, Still Waters, One Night Only and Spirits Having Flown.
