Disney have introduced that plans are in movement to adapt The Best Showman into a stunning, full scale, stage musical!
With the movie’s award-winning songwriters, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul on the helm, studies counsel that the upcoming manufacturing has already been workshopped within the UK, after a bunch of West Finish stars have been photographed with the duo in a rehearsal room earlier this summer season.
In a press release launched to the press, Disney stated: “The stage adaptation of The Best Showman, that includes the Academy Award-nominated songs of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, will announce manufacturing timetable, artistic group, and solid at a later date.”
