It’s in the works!!!!
Reports are coming in suggesting that a stage musical based off the classic children’s story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is being developed.
Behind the scenes of the project is Mr. Kate Winslet, Sam Mendes, who is producing and may even direct, David Greig is working on the book,and Hairspray’s Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman will compose the music.
Sounds like a strong backbone to the project, but does the world really need another reinvention of this story? No offense to Johnny Depp, but the last movie had us pleading for Gene Wilder to pop out and wanting Veruca Salt to start singing NOW!
Would a stage version be any better?
What do U think?
