‘Almost Famous’ is getting a musical and hold me closer, tiny dancer

Words by Nicole La Ruffa

From backstage to Broadway.

Following early 2000’s classics like Mean Girls and Legally Blonde, Almost Famous is joining the list of movies-turned-musicals.

That’s right, a musical adaptation of Cameron Crowe’s 2000 film is currently in the works.

An announcement was first made via Crowe’s Twitter, where he gave his followers a brief sneak peek of the upcoming project.

The musical will be directed by Jeremy Herrin, with music from composer Tom Kitt. We can probably expect a top-notch score reminiscent of the film’s original soundtrack, which featured the likes of Elton John, Led Zeppelin and Paul Simon.

While there’s no word yet on a premiere date (or even casting) we’re already bustin’ out the purple sunnies.
