BRITNEY SPEARS’ MEMOIR IS HEATING UP FAST

Based on pre sales, Britney Spears’ autobiography, The Woman In Me, is destined to be a bestseller, and that’s amazing since she has done very little to promote it. She only had a very controlled interview with People magazine, but no live TV hows like The Today Showwhere she could be pressured into embarrassing revelations. But Britney HAS decided she wants to turn her life story into a Broadway musical. According to a friend, Britney has been working with a producer to create a stage production based on her book. It’s in the earliest of planning stages, but with her book sales doing better than expected, my source says Britney and her assembled team shouldn’t have trouble lining up investors. But who would star as Britney in the musical?

Musical Tina Turner

WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF TINA TURNER

The fabulous Tina Turner (and her longtime companion Erwin Bach) has every reason to smile because the new musical based on her life opened in London to great reviews. Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is described as a jukebox musical (our favorite!) and it has the same female musical director as Mamma Mia. Tina’s shoes are really hard to fill, but singer/dancer/actress Adrienne Warren is described as SO delicious playing Tina, (second photo) that it’s expected to propel her into superstardom. The current #MeToo movement makes the tale of Ike Turner’s abuse and Tina’s eventual solo success even sweeter. We can hardly WAIT to see this!

Broadway Cher Musical

CHER PLANS TO “TURN BACK TIME” ON BROADWAY

#cher #janetcharlton

Cher has finally started talking – tweeting- about a Broadway musical based on her life that’s been in the works for awhile. According to Billboard, the show has been in development for several years but it sounds irresistible. The musical would be divided into three segments with different performers playing Cher in each stage of life and interacting with each other as well. One actress would play Cher as a young pop star with Sonny Bono, another would play her during the “Believe” years up to 1999, and Cher would play herself in the present day, giving advice to her younger selves. Who wouldn’t want to see that?
