The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em><\/strong> was a huge hit on Netflix last year, becoming the streaming service\u2019s most-watched script<\/a>ed miniseries<\/a> with over 62 million viewers in the first month. Now, fresh off a Golden Globes win for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television, the story of orphan chess prodigy Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong>) will be turned into a stage musical, bringing song and dance to the character drama.<\/span><\/p>\n

Variety<\/a> has news<\/a> on the Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em> musical adaptation in the works. The production company Level Forward has landed the theatrical stage rights to the novel by Walter Tevis, who also wrote the books that inspired The Hustler<\/em> and The Man Who Fell to Earth<\/em>. The latter was also turned into a stage production, but that made a little more sense since David Bowie starred in the film adaptation and produced the musical take on the story. But a musical version of The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em> feels rather out of left field.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t seen The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em> yet, here\u2019s the official trailer and synopsis:

Based on the novel by Walter Tevis, the Netflix limited series drama The Queen\u2019s Gambit is a coming-of-age story that explores the true cost of genius. Abandoned and entrusted to a Kentucky orphanage in the late 1950s, a young Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) discovers an astonishing talent for chess while developing an addiction to tranquilizers provided by the state as a sedative for the children. Haunted by her personal demons and fueled by a cocktail of narcotics and obsession, Beth transforms into an impressively skilled and glamorous outcast while determined to conquer the traditional boundaries established in the male-dominated world of competitive chess.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 1950s and 1960s setting and trip<\/a>s across the American Midwest, Paris, and Moscow will certainly allow for a stylish musical production, but the subject matter doesn\u2019t really seem fit for a full fledged song-and-dance adaptation. It\u2019s a darker character portrait of a young orphan who struggles with her broken family, identity, and substance abuse, as she becomes a worldwide chess sensation. Sure, there are plenty of powerful, dramatic musicals out there, but I\u2019m having trouble seeing how this particular adaptation is going to work.<\/p>\n

Level Forward CEO Adrienne Becker<\/strong> and producer Julia Dunetz<\/strong> said in a statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a privilege for Level Forward to lead the charge of bringing The Queen\u2019s Gambit to the stage through the beloved and enduring craft of musical theater. Told through a brave and fresh point of view, audiences are already sharing in the friendship and fortitude of the story\u2019s inspiring women who energize and sustain Beth Harmon\u2019s journey and ultimate triumph. The story is a siren call amidst our contemporary struggles for gender and racial equity, and we\u2019re looking forward to moving the project forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m dreading the mere possibility of seeing performers in giant chess piece costumes shifting about on stage to a jaunty tune. But perhaps Level Forward, which counts Walt Disney\u2019s grandniece Abigail Disney<\/strong> as one of the co-founders, has a thoughtful approach that will make this a hit stage production.<\/p>\n

As of now, there aren\u2019t any creative talents announced for The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em> musical, so stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n
