The First Wives Club - First Wives Club To Become Broadway Musical

THE FIRST WIVES CLUB is being adapted as a musical for the Broadway, New York stage. The 1996 film, which starred GOLDIE HAWN, BETTE MIDLER and DIANE KEATON, will be turned into a musical by legendary songwriters and producers, EDDIE and BRIAN HOLLAND and LAMONT DOZIER. The trio is responsible for such classic hits as STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE, HEAT WAVE, AIN'T TOO PROUD TO BEG and YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON. The project marks the first time the group has worked together in over a decade. Eddie Holland explains, "It's amazing...almost like we never left each other. The chemistry is unbelievable." According to Brian Holland, "We're going to be doing all new material. "The plan is to have all songs completed by December (06), then put it up at the beginning of next year to work out the kinks before we get to Broadway."
