Lily Allen casts doubt on Bridget Jones musical
Pop star Lily Allen is convinced her theater writing debut on a musical adaptation of Bridget Jones's Diary may never make it to the stage.
The Smile singer wrote the music and lyrics for the stage show based on the novel by Helen Fielding, and the production had been expected to open in London's West End in 2011.
However, the project has been marred by delays and setbacks, and
was thrown into turmoil in 2012 by the exit of lead actress
Sheridan Smith, who had reportedly been tapped to take over the
title role made famous by Renee Zellweger in the movie series.
Allen has now admitted her hard work may go to waste as the musical
may never be seen by the public.
She tells Popjustice.com, "It's finished and it's brilliant. But I
don't know if it will ever see the light of day."
When pressed on the details, Allen adds, "I cannot divulge", before
revealing her favorite song from the show: "It's called Yummy and
it's Bridget singing to a fridge."
