CelebNMusic247.com has the latest on Pharrell Williams, 43, who is coming off the success of La La Land.

The bosses at Fox have won a pitch to use Pharrell Williams’ music as the basis for a brand new project helmed by Broadway director Michael Mayer.

Pharrell Williams Musical Details:

Currently the project is titled ‘Atlantis’ – it is a “Romeo and Juliet style story” based on the ‘Happy’ hitmaker’s childhood growing up in Virginia Beach.

Pharrell and the project’s producer Gil Netter took the pitch out to studios a few weeks ago, and garnered widespread interest in the concept from studios wanting their own musical number following on from the hugely popular ‘La La Land’.

Basically, it was perfect timing since ‘La La Land’ was such a huge box office success. It was reported that Fox were successful in securing the musical last week, per THR.

Director Michael Mayer is no stranger to helming musicals based on artists either, as he was previously known for his work on ‘American Idiot’, the musical which was adapted from the hit album of the same name by American rock band Green Day. Michael directed ‘Spring Awakening’, for which he won a Tony Award.

Who will write the musical?

Martin Hynes, will pen the script for the production. He is currently writing ‘Toy Story 4’,
