Lily Allen working on Bridget Jones musical
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 5 July 2011
If there was one thing the world didn’t need, it was the Bridget Jones films. But, whatever, they’re here now. We’ll just have to live with it, and just get on with inexplicably watching them every Christmas. That’s the problem with TV, it comes right into your house and forces you to watch it. Not like theatre. Good old theatre, you can just ignore. I mean, imagine if a Bridget Jones musical hit the West End with songs by Lily Allen. I just wouldn’t go. Ha! That would tech ’em!
Oh, yeah, anyway, apparently Lily Allen is writing songs for a musical version of ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’ with producer and songwriter Greg Kurstin. Asked what she was doing music-wise these days, she told Elle: “I’m still writing. I’m just writing for other people. I’ve nearly finished a musical. I think it’ll be out sometime next year”.
