A musical stage adaptation of Girls Just Want To Have Fun is the first project to come out of Primary Wave Music’s collaboration with the theater-development company Lively McCabe Entertainment.

Adapted from the screenplay by Amy Spies and featuring the title song written by Robert Hazard and made famous by Cyndi Lauper, music and lyrics are expected to be primarily sourced from Primary Wave’s catalog. M. Dickson and Lauren Marcus will write the musical’s book; Jennifer Werner has signed on to direct.

Executive Producer Michael Barra and Associate Producer Allison Bressi will oversee for Lively McCabe, alongside Primary Wave’s Natalia Nastaskin and Ramon Villa.

“Primary Wave just wants to have fun, and we could not be more excited for our iconic hits from the ‘80s to provide the soundtrack for this beloved, classic story,” Nastaskin and Villa said. “We are grateful to Amy Spies for entrusting us and our amazing partners at Lively McCabe with her culturally important work and are thrilled to work with M., Lauren, Amy and Jennifer to bring this adaptation to life.”
