STILL STAYIN’ ALIVE — (from Deadline)
Add another jukebox show to the Broadway hopper. Wicked co-producer
Universal Theatrical Group (UTG), Universal Pictures’ live theatre
division, has reached an agreement with Barry Gibb, Yvonne Gibb, and the
Estate of Robin Gibb to develop a bio-tuner based on the life story and
music of the Bee Gees. Barry Gibb will serve as an executive producer
on the project. The announcement was made by Jimmy Horowitz, President
of Universal Pictures.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our family,” said Barry Gibb. “I’m personally very excited to be a part of the creative process along with Yvonne and Dwina. It’s another adventure for us and a chance to throw the spotlight on all my brothers and finally the real story of us will be told. It’s an honor to be working alongside the people I most respect. I can’t wait to get started!”
The Bee Gees, comprised of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, are among the world’s best-selling music artists of all time. With their iconic sound and quintessential performances, the talented group of brothers rose to fame in the 60’s and 70’s and saw global success with iconic hits such as “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” “Too Much Heaven,” “Nights On Broadway” and “Stayin’ Alive.”
The Bee Gees are one of my all-time favorite bands and to continue to hear their music, in any medium, is indeed a high honor. That said, I trust the creative team they assemble (with Barry Gibb) can adequately handle all the twists and turns in their wondrous career.
From Robert Stigwood, to RSO Records (and, Bill Oakes), Andy Gibb; the splits they all endured from the band; Barry’s magnificent work as a producer; the deaths of Maurice and Robin … it’s quite a tidy parcel. In my opinion, the trick that made Bohemian Rhapsody and even Rocketman, major successes, was that they had participation from some of the actual people who were involved. Sure, the Queen movie moved a lot faster than it did in real life and Elektra Records was essentially left out, as was Elton’s band … they both did tell the story.
