'Diner' coming to Broadway
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 2:01PM In preparation for Rock of Ages in November, we are all living in an '80s state of mind over here at Walton Arts Center. So, when we saw this article from The New York Times we were totally bummed. NOT!!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist!) To say the least, we were psyched and were this close to have a spontaneous dance party down our hallways.
The 1982 coming-of-age comedy, "Diner" by Barry Levinson is coming to Broadway! "Diner" helped bring some well-known stars into the spotlight, including Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly and Steve Guttenberg. Levinson will write the book for the "Diner" musical and Sheryl Crow will write the music. There's no way this is going to be anything less than totally tubular. (Sorry, again, couldn't resist!)

Sheryl Crow writing the music! That is amazing. Apparently she is a huge "Diner" fan, and was able to start writing immediately due to her familiarity with the characters. I can't wait to hear what she writes. A bass player friend of mine played recorded for her years ago. I would love to be able to record the drum tracks for this project!
