Per Hollywood Reporter:

A stage adaptation of the comedy-drama with music, about a 16-year-old Dublin lad who attempts to escape his troubled home life and impress a coolly enigmatic local beauty by starting a band influenced by the new wave pop sounds of the 1980s, will premiere as part of New York Theatre Workshop's 2019-20 season.

That off-Broadway venue is the same place where Once had its New York debut in 2011, in a sold-out run that propelled it to Broadway.

Like Once, the Sing Street musical will feature a book by Tony-winning playwright Enda Walsh, while music and lyrics are by Carney and Gary Clark. The latter is the one-time frontman of late-'80s Scottish band Danny Wilson, which had an international hit with "Mary's Prayer." The same team wrote the original songs heard in the movie.

Dates TBA

I love this movie so much! This is exciting!

Yay, this is exciting! Awesome movie. So upset it's not on Netflix anymore--I was actually just searching for it this weekend to watch it because I hadn't seen it in a while.

Love the movie, but put me in the skeptical category.  Once turned out ok, but not sure about this one.

According to the casting call, the staged reading for this begins next week. Anyone have any ideas who has been cast?

Is John Tiffany working on this? I'd love to get the rest of the Once crew on this project

I wish they gave the dates for this already, even the months it would be running would be nice. I'm assuming either late Oct-early Nov opening, as the show before at NYTW ends early Oct.
