Wouldn’t It Be Nice? Deadline and Variety are reporting that Twentieth Century Fox have secured rights to produce a musical based on the music of The Beach Boys.
Susannah Grant (The Soloist, Erin Brockovich) will write the script not about the group, but rather “a storyline with the surf and fun prevalent in the band’s many hits.” Think Mamma Mia!.
Craig Zadan, Neil Meron and John Stamos will produce. The former duo worked on Hairspray as well as Chicago. They are currently working on the Footloose update. All three worked on the TV movie A Raisin in the Sun. I love the Beach Boys and would be down for this.
Are you a big Beach Boys fan? What kind of story would you like to see?
