ITV plans 'Coronation Street' musical?
Published Thursday, Mar 20 2008, 11:34 GMT | By Alex Fletcher | 9 comments
According to The Sun, the broadcaster wants to emulate the success of the stage adaptation of prison drama series Bad Girls.
Other shows being considered for stage reworkings are Emmerdale and Hell's Kitchen.
Director of global content Dawn Airey said: "ITV have some powerful programme brands which don’t have to exist just on the telly.
"Musicals and plays have done good business for things like films so why not TV shows? Loose Women would be ideal. You can make money out of The Vagina Monologues, so what’s the difference?"
