The Woodstock Festival might be getting the Broadway treatment in the
2010-2011 season, as original festival producer Michael Lang recently
announced his intent to produce a new musical celebrating the iconic event.
According to Variety, Lang says that the score for the musical would
feature songs from the Woodstock era, as well as new numbers written
by acts that performed at Yasgur's farm in 1969.
No writer or director has yet been attached to the show, which will
be partially based on Lang's book, The Road To Woodstock, which was
released this summer.
Lang will be joined by Sam Nappi as co-producer for the show, which
has also not yet been titled.
The Woodstock festival, which featured such acts as Jimi Hendrix, the
Grateful Dead and the Who, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary
in August. A film, Taking Woodstock, starring Demetri Martin and
based on the book of the same title by Elliot Tiber, was released on
August 28.
