So, the story of Pharrell’s younger years is being made into a musical

by

After the success of La La Land, it looks like musicals are about to become a bit more main stream this year…

And, a new musical has been bought by Fox which will tell the story of Pharrell Williams' life.

The project, named Atlantis, has been described as a Romeo and Juliet type story with a musical element, inspired by Pharrell's young years in Virginia Beach.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Mayer, who is known for his Broadway work on Spring Awakening (which he won a Tony for) and American Idiot, is attached to direct while, Martin Hynes, who is currently writing Toy Story 4, is said to be writing the script.

We could be super naive here, but does Pharrell have a majorly dramatic back-story that we don't know about?!

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!
