Andy Fickman (Race To Witch Mountain) has agreed to direct the stage production after receiving the blessing of screenwriter Dan Waters.
"He understood that our goals were to be creatively attuned to his original work," Fickman told The Hollywood Reporter, adding that he hopes to work a classic line from the movie into a musical number: "'I love my dead gay son'. If you can get that into a song, then that is just perfect."
The black comedy centres on Veronica, a high-schooler who is part of a clique headed by three girls named Heather. Veronica soon finds herself led astray from the group by rebellious new student J.D.
The musical's cast may include Kristen Bell, Christian Campbell, Jenna Leigh Green, Corri English and Christine Lakin, who all took part in a table read this week. However, their involvement in the stage show is dependent on schedules.
