Water For Elephants to become Broadway musical
An elephant never forgets, but Broadway’s memory is apparently somewhat shorter. Despite the fact that few movie-to-musical adaptations find success on The Great White Way, Water For Elephants will be the latest property to get a musical adaptation, according to Variety. This time around, however, producers have acquired the rights to the 2006 novel by Sara Gruen rather than the bland 2011 movie starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson. And hey, Broadway actually has a pretty good track record of turning books into musicals, as seen in mega-hit adaptations like Wicked, Les Mis, and The Phantom Of The Opera.
