Entertainment Weekly (EW) covered EKC PR client’s announcement of the brand new upcoming Broadway musical, based off the classic game show Name That Tune.
Name That Tune Could Become a Broadway Musical
Broadway fans could soon have their chance to Name That Tune.
The classic game show, which featured contestants testing their music knowledge, is being adapted into a musical from Tony award winners Ron Dante (Ain’t Misbehavin’) and Rupert Holmes (Drood), plus John Ferriter, CEO of The Alternative.
“With the popularity of recent jukebox musicals like Motown: The Musical and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, we feel Name That Tune: The Musical will be the ultimate one of its kind, highlighting the soundtrack for all of our lives,” said Ferriter in a statement.
Created by Harry Salter, Name That Tune premiered in 1952 on NBC Radio, before a successful run on CBS throughout the 1950s. The series returned with a syndicated revival in the ’70s and ’80s, while also spawning many international versions.
The play is currently in pre-production, with the expectation of a 2018 debut.
