Happy Feet Musical Returns to Broadway

Happy Feet Taps Back to Broadway: A Penguin Musical Revival

The beloved animated film Happy Feet is set to return as a stage musical, marking the first new project from the franchise in over a decade. With a star-studded creative team, including Tony-winning producer Dori Berinstein and director Michael Arden, and a book writer from Chicken and Biscuits, this production promises a fresh take on the original tale.

Fans of the 2006 hit, which grossed $384 million worldwide and won an Oscar for best animated feature, will recognize the voice talents of Elijah Wood, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Robin Williams, and Brittany Murphy. The sequel was released in 2011, but this stage version aims to capture the nostalgia while also reaching new heights on Broadway.

Puppet master Basil Twist, known for his work on The Addams Family, will bring the penguins to life, and top choreographers like Ayodele Casel and Lauren Yalango-Grant with Christopher Grant are set to make feet fly. The soundtrack will feature a mix of film tracks and pop icons like Prince and Queen, evoking Moulin Rouge vibes.

Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures is behind this production, alongside Lost Boys and Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, with more projects like Crazy Rich Asians in the pipeline. This penguin party is just getting started, so stay tuned for more updates.
