In the most British-girl-power-y perfect storm of events we can think of, it’s been announced that Lily Allen will write the music for a Bridget Jones’ Diary musical. Our excitement for this is only eclipsed by the forthcoming Spice Girls musical that’s also in production.
The musical has already been workshopped and the producers are hoping it will be staged on the West End in London sometime next year. It’s being produced by the same folks that brought us Billy Elliott the musical, which won 10 Tony Awards, so here’s to hoping that Bridget and her granny panties will be just as successful. If anyone can make a song about weight loss and holiday sweaters catchy, it will certainly be Lily.
