For a while there, Broadway was getting a musical called “A Star is Born.” A script was being worked on, and Bill Condon was going to direct.
Then in 2018 Bradley Cooper unleashed his “Star is Born” with Lady Gaga and all those songs that became hits including “Shallow.”
After that, the Broadway version of the original movies (there were three before the Cooper-Lady Gaga movie) just kind of drifted.
Now I’m told by sources that “A Star is Born” is back. Condon is gone. And now the musical will be adapted from Cooper’s version, complete with Lady Gaga and Cooper songs.
This sounds smart since the songs are already there, so is the plot, and the audience now thinks this is the real “Star is Born.” Well, it is, right?
No other details yet. No cast, director, or writer have been revealed. But they will be soon.
We probably won’t see this until 2026. But whoever is cast will become stars over night.
This is exclusive, and that means you– Deadline, Variety, THR, and everyone else! Do not use without backlink credit.
