The Woodstock Festival might be getting the Broadway treatment in the 2010-2011 season, as original festival producer Michael Lang recently announced his intent to produce a new musical celebrating the iconic event.
According to Variety, Lang says that the score for the musical would feature songs from the Woodstock era, as well as new numbers written by acts that performed at Yasgur's farm in 1969.
No writer or director has yet been attached to the show, which will be partially based on Lang's book, The Road To Woodstock, which was released this summer.
Lang will be joined by Sam Nappi as co-producer for the show, which has also not yet been titled.
The Woodstock festival, which featured such acts as Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead and the Who, recently celebrated its 40th anniversary in August. A film, Taking Woodstock, starring Demetri Martin and based on the book of the same title by Elliot Tiber, was released on August 28.
