...according to Dan Looney's bio above. I wasn't aware a musical adaptation was in development. Thoughts?

The movie is awful. Not even entertaining in a so bad it’s good kind of way. Can’t wait to not see this. I can’t imagine it’ll actually happen anyway.

Why?

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Lack of original material. Broadway as well as the West End is starting to do adaptations now instead of original work-remember how they just announced a Parent Trap production??

Orfeh for Tess.

With the success of Moulin Rouge it was only a matter of time.
