This ambitious project features a talented team that includes Grammy winners Norah Jones and Gregg Wattenberg, who will contribute their musical expertise to bring to life the captivating story of the Owens sisters. The direction will be in charge of Maria Friedman, known for her work on Merrily We Roll Along. Her extensive experience in theater promises to bring a unique and moving vision to this adaptation.

The book for the musical will be written by Peter Duchan, known for his work on Dogfight, which adds an additional level of expectation to this production, as Duchan has already demonstrated his ability to create emotional and engaging narratives. Duchan’s collaboration with Hoffman is particularly interesting, given that both share the goal of capturing the essence of the original story while creating something new for the theater audience.

Although there are still details to be defined, such as the release date and location, the involvement of this talented team is already generating great anticipation among followers of the novel and the film.
