Get Ready for Singing, Dancing "Rocky!" Musical in the Works!

It seems the latest trend is to turn popular movies into musicals. The latest victim is "Rocky" and Sylvester Stallone is among the people behind the stage adaptation according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Tony Award-winning songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty along with Tony-winning book writer Thomas Meehan are adapting the boxing drama for the stage.

A private reading was held in New York earlier this year and the team is launching the musical in Germany in fall of next year. It may travel to Broadway in spring of 2013.

Stallone has been wanting to make this musical. He called Meehan eight years ago to begin the process of making Rocky sing, dance, and box of course!
