The plan is to hire a team of Black artists to bring the story to the stage, but according to Deadline,\u00a0no cast, creative team, or target dates have been revealed yet. Prominent former film critic <strong>Elvis Mitchell<\/strong> is said to be participating in the project as a consultant.<\/p>\n<p>Disney has previously adapted many of its animated classics for the stage \u2013\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>, in particular, was a Broadway juggernaut (until Broadway shut down due to the coronavirus) \u2013 but this will only be the second live-action stage musical in the company\u2019s roster that is based on a true story. The other is <em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>ies<\/em>, the adaptation of the 1992 Christian Bale movie about a group of newsboys who went on strike in New York City in 1899. Other live-action Disney theatrical properties include stage adaptations of <em>Mary Poppins<\/em>, <em>High School Musical<\/em>, <em>Camp Rock<\/em>, <em>Descendants<\/em>, and <em>Freaky Friday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theodore Melfi<\/strong> directed the movie version of <em>Hidden Figures<\/em>, which was based on author Margot Lee Shetterly\u2019s book of the same name. The film starred\u00a0<strong>Taraji P. Henson<\/strong>, <strong>Janelle Mon\u00e1e<\/strong>, <strong>Kevin Costner<\/strong>, <strong>Kirsten Dunst<\/strong>, <strong>Jim Parsons<\/strong>, <strong>Glen Powell<\/strong>, and<strong> Mahershala Ali<\/strong>, and <strong>Octavia Spencer<\/strong> earned an Oscar nomination for her performance as Dorothy Vaughan.

But the idea of a <em>Hidden Figures<\/em> musical is a bit more complicated. Most of the story is set in bland rooms at NASA, so the backgrounds and setting of the musical likely won\u2019t be super dynamic. And who wants to hear people sing about math? On the other hand, anything that adds to the legacy of these real-life women and hammers home how integral they were to these missions is probably worthwhile, just so history doesn\u2019t forget them once again.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/hidden-figures-musical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#\u2018Hidden Figures\u2019 Stage Musical in Development at Disney&#8221; Hidden Figures, the 2016 film that earned a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars, is heading to the stage.
