Bridget Jones is set to be adapted into a musical.
Helen Fielding, Jones’ creator is reportedly ‘excited’ for this to happen – she appeared on This Morning and made Philip Schofield very excited.
She’s written the stage adaption and it’s apparently all ready to go (apart from a few bits that need refining). Should we be excited? She very much is.
Fielding said of the project: “We have done quite a lot of work on the musical, and in workshops… I’m really excited about a musical. It depends on whether the theatre is available. It’s very spontaneous, [but we can expect it]in the next few years.”
The third film in the series, Bridget Jones’s Baby is so far receiving a warm response from critics. But she thinks a fourth film will wait until she has: “a story to tell and something to say, otherwise people won’t believe in her”.
This Morning is on ITV every weekday and Bridget Jones’s Baby opens on 16th September. Watch the trailer below:
