Overview

• TWTheatricals, a division of TheaterWorksUSA, has optioned the stage rights and attached Kate Wetherhead (book), Mark Sonnenblick (music and lyrics), and Annie Tippe (direction and choreography).
• The musical revisits Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey at age 25 as they reunite in Stoneybrook and confront questions about identity, careers, and relationships.
• Producers are eyeing out-of-town tryouts in 2026, a New York opening in spring 2027, and a potential national tour in 2027 or 2028, with all timing subject to development.
• Development materials circulating include a demo of the finale and script excerpts, and current plans call for eight principal actors, three swings, and a four-piece band.
• Author Ann M. Martin has endorsed the project, which builds on a franchise with 250-plus books and multiple screen adaptations aimed at multigenerational audiences.
