CULT FILM DINER HEADS TO BROADWAY
KEVIN BACON and MICKEY ROURKE’s 1982 hit film DINER is heading to Broadway with a little help from SHERYL CROW.
The movie, which also starred Steve Guttenberg, Ellen Barkin and Paul Reiser, was set in Baltimore, Maryland in 1959 and followed the lives of a group of friends on Christmas Day. And director Barry Levinson has now signed on to adapt the film into a stage musical.
In a statement, Levinson writes, “Diner was a pivotal moment in my career, and since then I have continued to live with the characters, realising there is much more to their story." All I Wanna Do hitmaker Crow will supply the music and lyrics for the show, marking her theatre debut.
Diner is set to hit the Big Apple stage next year (12).
