Pan’s Labyrinth set to become stage musical

Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar winning fairytale Pan’s Labyrinth is headed to the stage as a musical.

According to Deadline, legendary songwriter Paul Williams will pen the lyrics, while Academy Award winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla (Brokeback Mountain) will write the score.

Del Toro has been trying to make this happen for the past four years. The trio collaborated on songs for the animated feature Day of the Dead.

Producer Robert Fox is responsible for the stagings of The Boy from Oz and Frost/Nixon.

Looking forward to the Dance of the Thin Man.
