With GHOST the Musical currently playing in the Midlands at Stoke Regent Theatre until 18 Jan, www.westmidlandstheatre.com has spotted another big blockbuster love story movie being adapted for the stage.
Let the fanfare play because the bell is about to ring for the opening rounds of a brand new musical based on the Sylvester Stallone mega movie franchise ROCKY.The bell is about to ring for the opening rounds of a brand new musical based on the Sylvester Stallone mega movie franchise ROCKY. Here’s the trailer, and the show opens on broadway at the Winter Gardens Theatre in March 2014, with previews from early Feb 2014
The iconic underdog story of ROCKY is being brought to life on stage by a five-time Tony Award®-winning creative team, including director Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher), songwriting team Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime).
The book has been written by Thomas Meehan (The Producers) and Sylvester Stallone himself
Described by the producers as both an adrenaline-infused spectacle and a surprising tale of blossoming romance between two lonely outsiders, ROCKY is a visceral and heart-stopping theatrical experience for everyone brave enough to follow their dream.
Naturally if the new theatre show is knockout over there, no doubt we will also be in for a bout of the show over here at some point
