'I'm a Believer' Goes from Screen to Stage in Shrek the Musical

“I’m in love….oooooh!” The 1966 Monkees hit “I’m a Believer” has been added to Shrek the Musical. A popular element in the first Shrek feature film (in which it was sung by Smash Mouth and Eddie Murphy, who played Donkey), the song had previously been played in an instrumental version as audiences left the theater. Beginning on October 2 the entire company will perform “I’m a Believer” from the stage of the Broadway Theatre.

Composed by Neil Diamond, “I’m a Believer” became a number 1 hit for the Monkees on December 31, 1966, and remained there for seven weeks, becoming the biggest-selling record of 1967. It was featured on the soundtrack for the first Shrek film in 2001.

Shrek the Musical stars Brian d’Arcy James as Shrek, Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona, Christopher Sieber as Lord Farquaad, Daniel Breaker as Donkey and Robb Sapp as Pinocchio.

The cast also features Cameron Adams, Tessa Albertson, Rōzi Baker, Haven Burton, Bobby Daye, Ryan Duncan, Sarah Jane Everman, Maya Goldman, Justin Greer, Colleen Hawks, Lisa Ho, Chris Hoch, Marty Lawson, Jacob Ming-Trent, Carolyn Ockert-Haythe, Denny Paschall, Keven Quillon, Noah Rivera, Heather Jane Rolff, Jennifer Simard, Rachel Stern, Dennis Stowe, David F.M.

Musical Adaptation of Roald Dahl's Matilda

Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus, who helmed the recent child-rearing hit God of Carnage, is set to direct another story about parents and children—though this one will appropriate for kids. The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced it will adapt the late Roald Dahl’s beloved novella Matilda into a musical, set to open at Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon with direction by Warchus, music and lyrics by Australian comedian Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly. No casting for the show, which will debut in time for Christmas 2010, has been announced at this time.

Welsh author Dahl penned dozens of books for both children and adults over his lifetime, including such page to screen hits as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach. Matilda is Dahl’s 1988 tale about a child prodigy who uses superior brain power to battle her unloving parents and a formiddable school principal known as “The Trunchbull.” It was adapted for the screen in 1996, featured Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman as Matilda’s detestable parents, Pem Ferris as Agatha Trunchbull and Mara Wilson as the adorable title star.

“We are so proud that Roald’s stories continue to be met with such excitement and joy by children all over the world,” Dahl’s widow, Felicity, expressed in a statement. “With this project, thousands more children will engage wih his magical world yet again.”

Warchus has been a regular presence on the Broadway scene recently, having won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Direction for God of Carnage. Additional Rialto credits include The Normal Conquests, Boeing-Boeing and Art, all of which earned him Tony Award nominations.

Minchin is best known as a musical comedian, a stand-up artist who delivers his unique slant through song. His break-out show Dark Side was a hit at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and he has since gone on to win numerous international comedy awards. His stage credits include work with the Perth Theatre Company and the Australian Shakespeare Company, and he can be heard on the albums for So Rock, Tim Minchin and Friends and Ready for This?.

Bring It On: The Musical

Bring It On: The Musical

A Tony Award-winning creative team has been assembled for Bring It On: The Musical, an original musical set in the world of competitive cheerleading.

Andy Blankenbuehler (Tony Award-winning choreographer of In the Heights) will direct and choreograph the new musical, which boasts a book by Avenue Q Tony winner Jeff Whitty, music by In the Heights Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda and Next to Normal Tony winner Tom Kitt and lyrics by High Fidelity's Amanda Green.

Tony Award winner Alex Lacamoire (In the Heights, Wicked) will serve as orchestrator, arranger and music supervisor.

A developmental regional production is expected in early 2011, with a national tour to follow.

In a statement Blankenbuehler said, "The explosive world of cheerleading heightens so naturally to the stage. I can't imagine a more perfect team to bring this musical to life on stage. Jeff Whitty has come up with an enticing original story, and Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt, two of Broadway's most talented composers, are joining their amazing creative forces to write the score. With Amanda Green collaborating on lyrics and musical supervision by Alex Lacamoire, this team is a director and choreographer's dream."

Little Miss Sunshine Musical Set for Sundance White Oak Lab

Tony winners William Finn, James Lapine and Ted Sperling as well as Tony nominee Quiara Alegría Hudes and Jonathan Butterell will develop new musical stage projects at the White Oak Lab in Yulee, FL, in late October.

Sundance Institute Theatre Program producing artistic director Philip Himberg helms the annual developmental lab that is scheduled to run Oct. 25-Nov. 8.

"This is a critical time for the arts, and we're honored to provide creative resources and energy to these gifted artists," said Himberg in a statement. "This year's projects hold special meaning for Sundance Institute since the film versions both found audiences at the Sundance Film Festival, and we're thrilled that these well-loved stories will be finding new life on the stage. Although we have always supported both emerging and established artists, the Sundance Theatre Program has yet to have the opportunity to support either Mr. Lapine or Mr. Finn in the development of new work. It is also meaningful to be extending our lab to two international artists – Lila Downs and Paul Cohen of Mexico City - who are crossing over to collaborate with American musical theater artists. In our eighth iteration of Sundance Institute Theatre Lab at White Oak, it is a great pleasure to support these two musical theatre projects."

Workshopped will be the William Finn and James Lapine adaptation of the quirky 2006 film drama "Little Miss Sunshine." Finn (Falsettos, A New Brain, Elegies, Spelling Bee) pens the score to the musical that has book and direction by Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner James Lapine (Falsettos, Spelling Bee, Sunday in the Park with George, Passion).

"The story follows the travails of the dysfunctional Hoover family as they make their way in a vintage yellow VW bus from Albuquerque to Southern California for a kid's beauty pageant," according to Sundance.

Sundance Institute associate artist Janice Paran and Second Stage associate artistic director Chris Burney will serve as dramaturges for the White Oak Lab. Casting will be announced shortly.

After Win, Paramedics Attend to Kristin Chenoweth Backstage at Emmys

So what exactly happened to new Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth backstage at the star-studded Hollywood ceremony?

Access Hollywood reported at 10:22pm EDT that paramedics were called to the Nokia Theatre, home of the 61st Annual Primetime Emmys, to attend to Chenoweth, who was complaining about a migraine headache and saying she was unable to open her eyes.

Andrew Lloyd Webber to Write Six New Songs for Wizard of Oz Musical

Andrew Lloyd Webber has announced plans to write six new songs for a forthcoming stage adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. Casting for the roles of Dorothy and Toto will take place via a BBC reality series, and Lloyd Webber, speaking on a video blog posted on September 15, will be one of the judges. “Any Dorothys out there please get your act together,” the composer declared, adding that Wizard is aiming for a London bow in late 2010 or early 2011.

Speaking of his forthcoming additions to a score written for the screen by Harold Arlen, Lloyd Webber said, “Of course all the favorites will be there—‘Over the Rainbow,’ one of the greatest songs ever, ever written. I’m not even going to try to challenge that.”

The composer of Cats gave a tongue-in-cheek aside about auditions for Dorothy’s pet: “I, as a cat man, might not see the dogs.” Noting, however, that his daughter has a terrier named Dolly, Lloyd Webber added, “Even this ‘cats’ man sometimes can be softened in his heart by a really lovely dog.”

The busy composer, who is putting finishing touches on his Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies, posted the video from an airport en route to checking out a Canadian production of The Boys in the Photograph, his musical originally known as The Beautiful Game. Meanwhile, Phantom, Broadway’s longest running show, is set to play its 9,000th performance on September 16 at the Majestic Theatre.

First Look at Broadway-Bound Green Day Musical American Idiot

Harrison Ford Cracks the Whip on Indy 5

Dust off the fedora and clear out the snakes – Indiana Jones is ready to ride again.

Harrison Ford, 67, says he's already ready for the globe-trotting archaeologist's next adventure, only a year after one of history's most successful film franchises wasrevived – and that the next chapter is already well on its way.

"The story for the new Indiana Jonesis in the process of taking form," Ford told France's Le Figaro. "Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I'll be very happy to put the costume on again."

The screen legend was on hand to accept a career honor at the Deauville Film Festival, with partnerCalista Flockhart on his arm.

In June, while promotingTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen,Shia LaBouef – who plays Indiana Jones' son, Mutt – told the BBC, "Steven's just said that he's cracked the story."

Domestic Duties

But until it's again time to fight Nazis and Stalinists and overcome the supernatural, Ford says he's happy to be a simple househusband.

"I do the dishes. And I make dinner," he said. "In the mornings, I get my 8-year-old son, Liam ready for school, and then I pass my time flying around in my planes. You see, I'm just like anybody else. My children are between 8 and 42, and I'm also a grandfather."

Though he's got Indy in the works and two films (Morning Glory and The Crowley Project) set for release next year, Ford says there's one stereotypical actor's ambition he's happy to leave alone.

"[Directing]'s too hard, too long, and it doesn't pay enough!" he joked. "To be a good filmmaker is the hardest job in the world. I'm not patient enough. And I don't want to be the boss."
