Playbill has news of a musical adaptation of the film Little Miss Sunshine. With a book by James Lapine and a score by William Finn, the initial run of the new show started yesterday in Florida with Craig Bierko, Dick Latessa, Sherie Rene Scott, Martin Moran and Andrew Rannells in the cast.

The film, which I loved, tells of the adventures of the Hoovers, a dysfunctional family who travels from Albuquerque to Southern California for a kid’s beauty pageant in a vintage yellow VW bus. Finn seems like a great match for the material and I hope something great comes out of this.
