Siân Heder’s CODA is up for three Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards, with Heder’s low-key, moving drama about a young woman growing up as the only hearing member of a family of fishermen garnering nods for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (for co-star Troy Kotsur), and for Best Picture outright.
Now Heder’s film might be expanding out to a whole other world of award eligibility: The Tonys, as Vendôme Pictures and Pathé announced today that CODA will now be adapted into a stage musical. Per the press release, the film—itself adapted from the French La Famille Bélier—will be adapted for the stage by LA’s Deaf West Theatre.
